Abstract

Communication Call for articles: Religion and method in the study of religion The role played by religious commitment in classrooms and departments of Religious Studies has been the premier issue on which the debate on the significance of method and theory in the study of religion has most often been focussed. It is precisely this debate on the place of religious commitment that was of crucial importance in the nineteenth-century origins of the field of Religious Studies as well as in the rise of Religion as a widely accepted academic field of study in the 1950s and 1960s. And, especially in light of the recently announced closing of Religion Departments in universities across North America, this issue remains the most important focus for defining the study of religion in relation to other human and social sciences. The editors of Method and Theory in the Study of Religion plan to devote a future issue of the journal to the debate on the relations between religion and method in the study of religion. Scholars are invited to submit articles in which they clearly articulate theoretical and methodological perspectives by which to investigate the role of religious commitment in the classroom
