Description
Summary:The journal Religion was founded as a joint enterprise by a group of scholars in the north of Great Britain who shared an interest in the study of religions as an enterprise independent of Christian theological viewpoints. Here the founding moments of the journal are recalled by one of the participants in its genesis and immediate development, and the first ten years (1971-1981) are briefly reviewed. A significant intersection with the thirteenth quinquennial congress of the International Association for the History of Religions (IAHR) is also noted.
