Studienkurs Religion
Description
How are Muslim concepts of God different from Christian or Hindu ones? What do they have in common? Comparing religious concepts, practices and objects is an everyday operation in religious studies research. But some comparative studies, especially cross-cultural ones, have also raised fundamental doubts about the method’s value. This book introduces the history, theory and practice of making comparisons in the study of religion. It discusses major approaches, addresses challenges and criticism, and demonstrates how today’s religious studies scholars can make comparisons productively and responsibly. The book is designed as a basic textbook for a one-semester course on the topic.

Reviews
»Alle Kapitel werden mit Übersichten eingeleitet und mit Reflexionsfragen und weiterführenden Hinweisen beendet. Insofern eignet es sich sowohl zum Selbststudium als auch als Grundlage von Lehrveranstaltungen. Darüber hinaus lässt sich das Buch auch querlesen, wenn man sich dem enthaltenen Netz von Verweisen anvertraut und bereichern lässt.«

»Here, a particularly illuminating look is cast at the critiques of these approaches, which can also be read as a history of the self-understanding of religious studies. Overall, being mindful of its difficult past, Freiberger provides a fresh practical manual of how to do comparative religion.«

»It makes another fundamental contribution to the “rehabilitation” of this
central method within religious studies and will prove a useful tool for students, teachers, and researchers.«
