Abstract
While Xie Fuya has always been regarded as a philosopher of religion, this article wants to demonstrate his contribution to early religious studies in Republican China (1912–1949). For this purpose it analyses his book Zongjiao zhexue from 1928. Although clearly beinga “philosophy of religion,” this book draws heavily on theories of Western religious studies and thereby serves as an important vehicle for transmitting concepts of this new Western discipline. It proves that Xie Fuya, who sometimes called himself not only a philosopher of religion but also a scholar of religious studies (zongjiaoxuejia), can be seen as an important contributor to the field in this time.
