Presenting a wide-ranging selection of works and commentary in religious phenomenology
Phenomenology is a central method employed to study religious phenomena within religious studies, philosophy of religion, and philosophical theology. This expertly edited collection brings together historical sources and newly commissioned essays from various ways of investigating religion phenomenologically both to diversify the field and to make available important works that have not been previously translated into English. The Phenomenological Study of Religion includes not only representative texts from well-known phenomenological philosophers and scholars of religion but also selections from significant thinkers that have not been studied as widely, along with contributions from leading contemporary voices. This volume offers scholars and students at all levels of expertise broad exposure to the various configurations of the phenomenological study of religion.
"This reasoned selection of all-too-often neglected key contributions to the emergence of the modern phenomenology of religion offers a timely intellectual resource and repository for contemporary philosophy, theology, and critical theory alike. Brilliantly presented by one of the most eminent specialists in the field, this volume opens up an immense archive whose conceptual depths and argumentative reach we have not yet fully fathomed." —Hent de Vries, New York University
"This is a very welcome volume from one of the most important voices in phenomenology, bringing together readings within the phenomenology of religion and presenting a comprehensive overview of this important field of inquiry relevant to theology, religion, and philosophy." —Gavin Flood, University of Oxford
