Résumé:In the first issue of Temenos in 1965 Professor Lauri Honko (1932-2002) writes: ‘it may seem foolhardy that the youngest comparative religion society in the Northern countries should undertake to fill this gap’ - that is, to publish a Nordic journal in comparative religion.

In what follows here let us take a look at how it all started, and at the main features of development over the past 50 years - and also at what are the challenges that the current situation presents the Society with.
