Abstract

According to their methodologies, religious studies are divided into two groups that are descriptve and normatve religious studies. Religious studies which they have no speculatve aim and use the descriptve methods study ‘what the thing is’. Religious (or theological) studies which they defend a religion and use the normatve methods deal with ‘what the thing should be’. The later one as different than the frst tries to proof that religion is beter or superior than the other. This defends a specifc religion or doctrine and gives some explanatons that depend on the judgments. This artcle aims to give some informaton about the comparatve studies which were done in the normatve religious studies, what kind of criteria they have, and what kind of problems they face
