Nathan Söderblom and the Study of Religion

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 October 2008

Lecturer in Comparative Religion in the University of Manchester

Extract

To the student of the recent history of theological ideas in the West, it sometimes seems as though, of all the ‘new’ subjects that have been intro duced into theological discussion during the last hundred or so years, only two have proved to be of permanent significance. One is, of course, biblical criticism, and the other, the subject which in my University is still called ‘comparative religion’—the (as far as possible) dispassionate study of the religions of the world as phenomena in their own right.
