Abstract

It is based on the intention of reflecting on the changes in current paradigms and on the use of new empirical methodologies. This diligence is situated in the decolonial perspective. A bibliographic dimensioning is carried out to recompose the epistemological trajectory of religion studies.

Keywords: epistemology; religious phenomenon; decoloniality; empirical methodology; interpretive analysis.
