Abstract

In this text I focus on what I see as a shift that took place in Study of Religions in Sweden in the early 1970s. There are, of course, many ways to illustrate this change, but in this short article I will place the focus on the Swedish scholar Åke Hultkrantz (1920–2006) and on how his interest in methodological questions illustrates this turn.
