Discovering Religious History in the Modern Age

Beschreibung

Attempts to analyze the rise of comparative religion as a response to modernization. This book tells how Western scholars began to interpret religion's history drawing on prehistorical evidence and ethnographical reports. It shows how religions that had been rejected as irrational by Enlightenment philosophers were being studied with enthusiasm.
