Internationally recognized scholars from many parts of the world
provide a critical survey of recent developments and achievements
in the global field of religious studies. The work follows in the
footsteps of two former publications: Classical Approaches to the
Study of Religion, edited by Jacques Waardenburg (1973), and
Contemporary Approaches to the Study of Religion, edited by Frank
Whaling (1984/85). New Approaches to the Study of Religion
completes the survey of the comparative study of religion in the
twentieth century by focussing on the past two decades. Many of the
chapters, however, are also pathbreaking and point the way to
future approaches.

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.

Antes zeichnet die wichtigsten Etappen des religiosen Denkens der
Menschheit nach, beginnend mit den ersten Spuren von Religion in
der Vorgeschichte uber die fruhen Kulturen in Asien, Afrika, Europa
und Alt-Amerika und die traditionellen Stammes- und Naturreligionen
in Asien, Ozeanien, Australien und Afrika bis hin zu den
Hochreligionen (darunter u.a. Hinduismus, Buddhismus, Jainismus,
Zoroastrismus/Parsismus, Judentum, Christentum, Islam). Ein eigenes
Kapitel bilden neuere religiose Bewegungen, darunter auch die Sikh-
und die Bahai-Religion. Ausfuhrungen uber diffuse Religion (z.B.
Gnosis, Esoterik, Astrologie) sowie Religion und Moderne schliessen
den Band ab. Es wird deutlich, wie unterschiedlich die Gottes-,
Welt- und Menschenbilder sind, die sich im Laufe der
Religionsgeschichte entwickelt haben.Die "Theologische
Wissenschaft" erfasst als Sammelwerk fur Theologen und
Religionspadagogen in Studium und Beruf das Grundlagenwissen aller
Gebiete gegenwartiger evangelischer Theologie. In seiner
Gesamtanlage und in der Methode der Einzeldarstellungen
verwirklicht das Werk Erkenntnisse und Vorschlage der Diskussion
zur Reform der theologischen Ausbildung.
