Abstract:
Neville's comparative study of religion cannot be neatly categorized into current divisions of human knowledge of religion. Its comparative method of vague categories remains hospitable to varying scholarly interests. With the help of this methodology, Neville contributes in a sui generis fashion to the Christian-Ru transcendence debate. An analysis of these three aspects of Neville's work supports reflection upon the nature and future of comparative study of religion.
