Increasingly, recognition is given to the importance of methodology in the study of religion and methodological issues are generally taught to first-year students in order to equip them for systematic academic study of the topic. Unfortunately many of the theories that relate to methodology are explained in a highly complex way, which even advanced students find hard to understand. This indispensable new textbook for undergraduate religion students unravels the complexity of these issues by introducing the history and methodology pertaining to the study of religion (including ideas of key theorists) and by discussing the main problems in current scholarship in world religions.
