Summary
The 19th century was not only the century of historical research, it was also the century of religious research. What was it that made it so interesting for scholars to deal with religion, what were their central viewpoints, and what was the social and cultural relevance of their research? The studies in this volume provide an answer to these questions. The author succeeds in demonstrating to what extent the subjects, paradigms and methods of older religious research were dependent upon the social and cultural environment. However, he also refers to the relevance of many challenges posed by older religious research.
