Summary:This article sketches a taxonomy of methodological approaches operative in the study of religion. A fairly recent proposal by anthropologist André Droogers who suggests these are not mutually exclusive will also be presented. Opportunities and challenges opened up by Droogers’ model will be explored for its relevance across the broad spectrum that constitutes the contemporary scholarly study of religion, including theological studies.
