Description

Thirty or forty years ago, the phrase "method and theory" in Religious Studies scholarship referred to more social scientific approaches to the study of religion, as opposed to the more traditional theological hermeneutics common to the field.

Today, however, it seems that everyone claims to do "theory and method," including those people who shun social scientific approaches the academic study of religion.

Method Today brings together the contributions of scholars from a recent North American Association for the Study of Religion conference to explore the question of what it means to do "theory and method" in an era where the phrase has no distinct meaning.

Contributors specifically address the categories of description, interpretation, comparison, and explanation in Religious Studies scholarship.
