Summary: Renommierte Religionswissenschaftler erläutern und diskutieren die drei wichtigsten Ansätze der vergleichenden Religionswissenschaft auf dem neuesten Stand der Forschung: den hermeneutischen, den kognitivistischen und den kritischen. Die Ansätze, Standpunkte und Methoden der Religionswissenschaft werden unter kritischer Abwägung des Für und Wider gründlich und offensiv diskutiert. Das ermöglicht ein grundlegendes Verständnis des aktuellen Dialogs und künftiger Herausforderungen.Summary: Well-known scholars in the study of religions bring up to date and elucidate the discussion on the three most debated approaches in comparative religion, namely, the hermeneutical approach, the explanatory or cognitivist approach, and the critical approach. The approaches and methods of studying religion are disputed in an outspoken and challenging way, critically and radically arguing pros and cons. This work is unique, unrivalled, and full of essential insights into the dialogue of today and of the challenges of tomorrow.
