520 |a This article makes the case for adopting ‘Study of Religions' as a single common disciplinary name for cross-cultural, comparative and theoretical studies of ‘religion/s'. I argue that the grammatical and substantive format of this name adequately addresses disciplinary requirements and resolves a longstanding debate in the field. It also supplies a distinctive, recognizable international brand. While poststructuralist and deconstructionist work in the field has been stimulating, it has not fostered positive disciplinary identification. Adoption of a single name will promote centripetal drive and theoretical coherence which is where the most effective work in the Study of Religions has been done since the 1960s - and continues.
