This is the first systematic scholarly study that analyses the complex relationship between history and religion, taking into account religious groups both as producers of historical narratives as well as distinct topics of historiography. Coming from different disciplines, the authors of this volume ask under which conditions and with what consequences religions are historicised. How do religious groups employ historical narratives in the construction of their identities? What are the biases and elisions of current analytical and descriptive frames in the History of Religion? The volume aims at initiating a comparative historiography of religion and combines disciplinary competences of Religious Studies and the History of Religion, Confessional Theologies, History, History of Science, and Literary Studies. By applying literary comparison and historical contextualization to those texts that have been used as central documents for histories of individual religions, their historiographic themes, tools and strategies are analysed. The comparative approach addresses circum-Mediterranean and European as well as Asian religious traditions from the first millennium BCE to the present and deals with topics such as the origins of religious historiography, the practices of writing and the transformation of narratives. 410 0$aReligionsgeschichtliche Versuche und Vorarbeiten ;$vBand 68. 606 $aReligion$xHistoriography 606 $aReligion$xHistory 606 $aHistory$xReligious aspects 615 0$aReligion$xHistoriography. 615 0$aReligion$xHistory. 615 0$aHistory$xReligious aspects. 676 $a201/.69 702 $aOtto$b Bernd-Christian 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910341841003321 996 $aHistory and religion$92264631 997 $aUNINA
