History of Study.
In the study of religion, as in other studies, it is difficult to separate
method from theory: the "how" of the study of religion necessarily implies
something about its "what." The question arises whether religion is to be
broadly defined from the start or defined gradually in the course of inquiry.
A wider or narrower definition of religion (e.g., whether or not to include
nontheistic or nontranscendent traditions) necessarily affects the scope and
thrust of the research. Moreover, there are theoretical elements found in
methodological inquiry that involve decisions as to what can and cannot be
known and as to how thought and expression are to be ordered. Method
involves choices as to the procedures of investigation, the scope and limits
of the subject matter, and the mental faculties and conceptual tools that are
involved in particular kinds of study. On all these there has been a wide
variety of opinion.
