| | History of religions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The History of religions refers to the Religiongeschichteschule, a Nineteenth century German school of thought which was the first to systematically study religion as a socio-cultural phenomenon. | | | Students of the history of religions often learnt that this began in Egypt with Akhnaten and grew through 7th century BC Judaism, Persian Zorastrianism and Greek Philosophy to endow Western society with the most progressive form of religion. | | | The "history of religions" school sought to account for this religious diversity by connecting it with the social and economic situation of a particular group. |

| | The History of Religions: Essays in Methodology |
| | This apparent ambiguity of the nature of the discipline of the history of religions is reflected in the diversity of names by which it has come to be known, such as comparative religion, phenomenology of religion, science of religions, and history of religions. | | | While we recognize the important role of a "theological history of religions," this is a theological discipline, and we must maintain a wholesome tension between the history of religions and a theological history of religions. | | | Obviously the history of religions or Religionswissenschaft does not monopolize the study of religions. |

| | UNC Religious Studies - History of Religions |
| | During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Comparative Religion, the predecessor of the modern field of History of Religions, construed the study of "Religion" as the search for the universal essence of all religions. | | | The History of Religions studies religions in multicultural and panhistorical contexts. | | | This perspective allows the very definition of the terms "religious" and "religions" to remain fluid and in question, while religion-as-experienced comes to be seen as embodied in the language, action, and thoughts of specific traditions. |

| | Theology Today - Vol 32, No. 4 - January 1976 - ARTICLE - Method in the History of Religions |
| | The point of departure for history of religions is that whatever else it may be, religion cannot be understood in terms of non-religious factors. | | | History of religions (Religionswissenschaft) has traditionally defined its task as that of understanding and articulating the totality of the human religious experience in all of its historical manifestations. | | | Thus all forms of reductionism which seek to "explain" religion in terms other than itself must be rejected on the grounds that such theories explain nothing by explaining religion away. |
