Product Description
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. Originally published in 2004, "New Approaches" are now available as paperback for classroom use. This title is also available as a 2 volume set.
