The phenomenological method in the study of religions has provided
the linchpin supporting the argument that Religious Studies
constitutes an academic discipline in its own right and thus that
it is irreducible either to theology or to the social sciences.
This book examines the figures whom the author regards as having
been most influential in creating a phenomenology of religion.
Background factors drawn from philosophy, theology and the social
sciences are traced before examining the thinking of scholars
within the Dutch, British and North American "schools" of religious
phenomenology. Many of the severe criticisms, which have been
leveled against the phenomenology of religion during the past
twenty-five years by advocates of reductionism, are then presented
and analyzed. The author concludes by reviewing alternatives to the
polarized positions so characteristic of current debates in
Religious Studies before making a case for what he deems a
"reflexive phenomenology."
