Rethinking the Relationship between the Study of Religions, Theology and Religious Concerns: A Response to Some Aspects of Wiebe's and Martin's Paper

Original language description

This article deals with relationship between the Religious Studies, Theology and Religious Concerns from the situation of the discipline in Central and Eastern Europe. In the same time it&apos;s the response to article of Luther Martin and Donald Wiebe titled &quot;Religious Studies as a Scientific Discipline: The Persistence of a Delusion&quot;. Both of them are generally disappointed of the late situation of Religious Studies as a field, especially because of religious motivation of scholars considered as ideological way of studies. I claim as they do if science is to stay scientific, it cannot become a &quot;project&quot; to solve the existential questions of a scholar or of the academic community. Whether the study of religions is to protect itselfeffectively from such a fallacy, unlike them I stress it must be wary not only of theology, but as well as of any attempts to changes into a philosophy (of religion). I promote that Religious Studies is &quot;modest cognitive project&quo
