Synopsis

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.
