Abstract
Some years ago publications on the theory and method of the science of religion were scarce (Rudolph, 1962: 199). Recently, however, the situation has been changing. The number of methodological writings seems to increase from year to year. They range from introductory chapters in multi-volume handbooks of the history of religions (e.g., Brelich, 1970), to articles in journals, anthologies (Capps, 1972; Waardenburg, 1973; Lanczkowski, 1974; Mann, 1973), and to monographs dealing either with particular aspects of the history of religions (e.g., Baird, 1971) or with a systematic exposition of the study of it as a whole (e.g., Bianchi, 1970; Meslin, 1973). Several of these works are the result of study conferences or symposia devoted to the discussion of methodology. The collection of papers presented at a symposium in 1968 in the Ecole pratique des Hautes Etudes, published by Desroche and S~guy (1970), occasioned an analysis by A. Saucerotte in Les Cahiers du Centre d'6tudes et de recherche
