Thirty or forty years ago, the phrase "method and theory" in
Religious Studies scholarship referred to more social scientific
approaches to the study of religion, as opposed to the more
traditional theological hermeneutics common to the field. Today,
however, it seems that everyone claims to do "theory and method,"
including those people who shun social scientific approaches the
academic study of religion. Method Today brings together the
contributions of scholars from a recent North American Association
for the Study of Religion conference to explore the question of
what it means to do "theory and method" in an era where the phrase
has no distinct meaning. Contributors specifically address the
categories of description, interpretation, comparison, and
explanation in Religious Studies scholarship.
