What are the very best, or 'must read', secondary works on the subject of Religious Phenomenology?
n addition, I suggest reviewing the fundamental problems of phenomenological introduction to phenomenological research and the phenomenology of the spirit of Hegel, all of the author: Martin Heidegger.
A good question! It depends on the subject-matter, and I am not an expert to know all theologians who show aspects of phenomenology in their publications. But if you are satisfied with my suggestion to read the three volumes "Philosophical Theology" of Robert Cummings Neville (Boston University) as near to phenomenological views, then I would like to encourage you to pay attention to this remarkable work.
An important historical work on some of the earliest religious phenomenology you can find on ResearchGate:
Experimental introspection and religious experience: The Dorpat school of religious psychology
Article in Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences 21(2):131-50 · April 1985DOI: 10.1002/1520-6696(198504)21:23.0.CO;2-Q · Source: PubMed
Three indispensable and seminal works in the field are:
Smart, Ninian, 1973. The Phenomenon of Religion. London: Macmillan.
Van der Leeuw, Gerardus, 1963. Religion in Essence and Manifestation: A Study in Phenomenology, translated by J. E. Turner. 2 volumes. New York: Harper & Row.
Eliade, Mircea. 1987. The Sacred and the Profane: The Nature of Religion, translated by Willard R. Trask. San Diego: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich.
Dear Eric Wilson;I am sending you an article that draws on a wide range of resources that I think will be very useful. Its language is Turkish, but you can understand 90% of it with the translation program
