New Approaches to the Study of Religion: Regional, critical, and historical approaches
Internationally recognized scholars from many parts of the world provide a critical survey of recent developments and achievements in the global field of religious studies. The work follows in the footsteps of two former publications: Classical Approaches to the Study of Religion, edited by Jacques Waardenburg (1973), and Contemporary Approaches to the Study of Religion, edited by Frank Whaling (1984/85).

Many of the chapters, however, are also pathbreaking and point the way to future approaches.
