Religion: Empirical Studies »

Scholars of religion, history, language, and archaeology, all British but one from Ghana, revised their presentations at conferences of the British Association for the Study of Religions from the early 1990s to 2002 for publication in an ongoing Occasional Papers series. A selection of 15 of these papers have been compiled to explain and demonstrate the use of qualitative empirical methodologies in religious studies. Among their topics are how to study religious experience in the traditions, The Sacred as a viable concept in the contemporary study of religions, women and goddesses in the Celtic world, and African spirituality.
