Description
Summary:The present paper offers a reflection on the historiography of the academic study of religion in Russian Federation. Although the main emphasis is placed on the present state of the scholarship, it is argued that the Religious Studies in Russia could be understood solely and exclusively in the light of its historical development. Special attention is paid to the bibliographical issues. As for the History of Religions, it is stated, that Biblical Studies and Qumran Studies, Gnostic Studies and Manichaean Studies, Sufi Studies, History of Religions in Tibet and Shinto Studies are the most representative and moreover quite perspective areas. What is more, since there is significant interdependence between the History of Religions on the one hand and other disciplines of Russian Religious Studies on the other hand; recent studies on the History and Methodology of Religious Studies, Sociology, Psychology and Phenomenology of Religion are also analyzed.
