Exploring the evolution of the phenomenology of religion, this work traces its historical significance from its inception in the late 19th century to its decline in the 21st century. Initially celebrated as a foundational approach within religious studies, it was shaped by key figures like Chantepie de la Saussaye and Gerardus van der Leeuw. The book critically examines the discipline's trajectory, addressing both its past prominence and contemporary challenges, and proposes a renewed perspective on its relevance for the future study of religion.
