Abstract

Eliade, the well-known and prolific historian of religion, has himself of late become an object of intense study. In his endeavours he sought to uncover the deeper, trans-historical meaning of religious expression. He introduced the term ‘ creative hermeneutics ’ in his more recent writings, and was most intent on discovering what the religious phenomena ‘had to say’.
