This book develops a scientific approach to the phenomenon of
religion. It is the conviction of the author that such an approach
can only be comparative in nature, in order to overcome centuries
of religiously biased views on religion. From an anthropological
point of view the phenomenological school of thought is
intrinsically religionistic (i.e., influenced by a particular
religious frame of reference).
The author formulates a model which seeks to distinguish between
three irreducible religious ways (ritualistic, mythagogic and
shamanistic), of which religious forms at the object level are
composed. The typical characteristics of religion in the theories
of the religions of the book then appear as specific (local)
formats, next to and at the same level as any other religious
manifestation in the world.
In a second hypothesis in the book, the primacy of action over
language for the human species is argued for. Here again, a local
preference for verbal actions is identified in the religions of the
book. To develop a more generic view on religion, the author
proposes to look at humans first and foremost as acting subjects,
with verbal actions as a subcategory.
