Analysis of academic norms for the study of religion focuses on the construction of a secondary discourse that accomplishes the following: 1) Treats all religious phenomena as primary sources; i.e., the object of study; 2) Adheres to common academic practices in the humanities and social sciences, as appropriate for the research question under investigation; and 3) Incorporates self-critical reflection on the problematic of scholarly, secondary discourse vis-a-vis the primary, intramural discourse of the people and practices studied. These three goals are necessary to adequately formulate the study of religion as a discipline of scholarship in alignment with the humanities, social sciences, and sciences.
