Religious Studies was first introduced as a new discipline in
universities and colleges around the world in the 1960s. This
discipline brought about a reorientation of the study of religion,
created new perspectives and influenced all sectors of education.
The essays presented in this volume provide a clear and
comprehensive overview of the history of Religious Studies as an
academic discipline, the turning points it faces and the directions
it might take in the future. The work is organised in three
sections. The first presents a succinct case study of the
historical development of Religious Studies in Britain. The second
considers the development of Religious Studies throughout the world
in its major constituents, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism,
'traditional' African religions, Christianity, Islam and new
religious movements in Africa, the study of truth and dialogue in
religion, science and the rediscovery of religious experience,
mysticism. The third section looks to developments in Religious
Studies, in particular at religion in relation to the arts, gender,
information technology and to Religious Studies in a global
perspective.
