comparative-religion
From the author
Comparative religion as a scholarly discipline — cross-tradition analysis of doctrines, practices, and experiences without collapsing traditions into each other or ranking them against a normative standard. Covers the history of the discipline (from Max Muller through Eliade, Smart, Smith, and the contemporary critique), typologies (theism, monism, polytheism, non-theism), the dimensions framework (doctrinal, ritual, ethical, experiential, mythic, institutional, material), and the ethics of comparison. Use when a query asks how a concept, practice, or text functions across multiple traditions.
