This book offers a survey of the development of interdisciplinarity
in religious studies within academia and offers ways for it to
continue to progress in contemporary universities. It examines the
use of the term 'interdisciplinary' in the context of the academic
study of religion and how it shapes the way scholarly work in this
field has developed. The text uses two main elements to discuss
religious studies as a field. Firstly, it looks at the history of
the development of religious studies in academia, as seen through
an interdisciplinary critique of the university as an
epistemological project. It then uses the same interdisciplinary
critique to develop a foundation for a 21st-century hermeneutic,
one which uses the classical concepts reprised by that
interdisciplinary critique and retools the field for the 21st
century. Setting out both the objects of religious studies as a
subject and the techniques used to employ the study of those
objects, this book offers an invaluable perspective on the progress
of the field. It will, therefore, be of great use to scholars of
research methods within religious studies.
