Comparative Religion is deeply rooted in historical-philological
studies, but since the inception of the discipline in the late
nineteenth century, a continual development has taken place. Since
that time, the discipline has moved into many different areas of
the social, humanistic, psychological and biological sciences, and
debates on theory and method are as intense as ever. As scholars of
religion get to grips with some aspects of the phenomenon in
question, new problems arise, and new challenges must be met. At
the same time, however, the virtues of the past should not be
forgotten, and a double orientation, back and forth, becomes
necessary. Rather than pursuing a systematic discussion of how to
go about such problems, this volume celebrates the diversity and
multi-methodological approaches in comparative religion by
including empirical, as well as theoretical, approaches.The
authors, among whom are many of the world's leading scholars, have
been asked to contribute essays on the current state of comparative
religion, and thanks to their efforts the reader is offered a
pathway to exciting, but quite diverse, examples of the discipline,
from the well-known to the most recent academic frontiers.
