Abstract

Both the world religions survey and the phenomenology of religion experience present fatal difficulties when undertaken as a first course in religion. Useful features of both can be saved and difficulties avoided in judicious use of Bildungsromane in which different religious traditions figure prominently. Several such are named and their use discussed.
