Title: Numen: International Review for the History of Religions

Editors: Einar Thomassen, University of Bergen; Gustavo Benavides, Villanova University

ISSN: 0029-5973
E-ISSN: 1568-5276

Description: Numen publishes papers representing the most recent scholarship in all areas of the history of religions. It covers a diversity of geographical regions and religions of the past as well as of the present. The approach of the journal to the study of religion is strictly non-confessional. While the emphasis lies on empirical, source-based research, typical contributions also address issues that have a wider historical or comparative significance for the advancement of the discipline. Numen also publishes papers that discuss important theoretical innovations in the study of religion and reflective studies on the history of the discipline. The journal also publishes review articles and book reviews to keep professionals in the discipline updated about recent developments. Occasionally, Numen announces news about the activities of the International Assocation for the History of Religions (IAHR) and its member associations.
