The essays included in this volume approach these debates from a variety of angles. Based on a series of talks held at the University of Hannover over the last few years, the essays are intended to be understood as diagnostic works in progress and thus as working papers, all of which strive to point out important problems and perspectives in the field of theories and methodology and to draw attention to the future of the discipline. Using developments in Hanover as a launch pad, the volume forms the basis for further insights into the direction of the study of religion as a discipline at large.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments  List of Contributors    Introduction: Theory, Method, Hannover, and the Study of Religion  Steffen Führding    2 Comparison, Practice, and Meaning: Martin Riesebrodt’s Theory of Religion  Alexander van der Haven    3 A Plea for the Study of Religions  Peter Antes    4 Study of Religions in the Era of Globalization of Differences: The Concept of Agonistic Context  Břetislav Horyna    5 “Man is the Measure of All Things…”: On The Fabrication of Oriental Religions by European History of Religions  Russell T.
