  • The Science of Religion and the Sociology of Knowledge

    Ninian SmartBOOKScience of Religion and the…2015

    Ambitiously undertaking to develop a strategy for making the study of religion "scientific," Ninian Smart tackles a set of interrelated issues that bear importantly on the status of religion as an academic discipline. He draws a clear distinction between studying religion and "doing theology," and considers how phenomenological method may be used in investigating objects of religious attitudes without presupposing the existence of God or gods. He…

  • What is Religion

    Clayton Crockett, Ivan Strenski et al.BOOKWhat is Religion1998

    What is Religion? consists of fourteen essays written by a selection of scholars who represent a wide spectrum of approaches to the acedamic study of religion. Each of the essays is an effort not only to take stock of the present controversy concerning appropriate methodologies for the study of religion, but also to take one giant step beyond that to formulate a precise definition of religion. Given the considerable confusion today about what it …

    Ninian SmartARTICLEReligion1996

    Dans la seconde moitie du XX e siecle, il semble que l'hindouisme de Gandhi ait ete erode par des forces politiques telles que le mouvement Hindutva qui reprend quelques uns de ses themes, mais combat ostensiblement son esprit pluraliste. Il faut garder a l'esprit que le christianisme evangelique des Anglais a attaque le polytheisme hindou. Les reformateurs utilitariens ont critique le systeme des castes, le mariage des enfants. L'enseignement su…

  • On declaring peace

    Ninian SmartARTICLEMethod & Theory in the Study of…1993

    Donald Wiebe and Luther Martin have their hearts in the right place, and there intellects more or less where their hearts are, but with trailing edges. They criticize my suggestion in Ursula King's recent Turning Points in Theology (Edinburgh: T. & T. Clark, 1990) for a World Academy of Religion, perhaps based on the IAHR (which they honourably seek to defend). Their criticisms are in part theoretical, and they think that I have conducted a U-tur…

    In this book van der Leeuw discusses the horizontal path to God and the vertical paths descending from God and ascending to Him. If God Himself appears, it is in a totally different manner, which results not in intelligible utterance, but in proclamation; and it is with this that theology has to deal.Originally published in 1986.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print…
