| Résumé: | In this introduction to the special forum discussion on the role of historians in the study of religion\s, I present three main challenges to the discipline: (1) profound questioning of the most central concepts in the historical study of religion\s; (2) increasing fragmentation of the discipline, with many excellent – but hyper-specialised – contributions; and (3) limited success in communicating specific academic insights to a larger audience of scholars and the general public. The aim of this forum discussion is to reflect on these challenges and rethink the role of the role of historians and historical analysis in the study of religion\s, in particular through research practices such as historicising, comparing, theorising, and generalising. |
