Overview: Max Müller is often referred to as the ‘father of Religious Studies‘, having himself coined the term ‘science of religion‘ (or religionswissenschaft) in 1873. It was he who encouraged the comparative study of myth and ritual, and it was he who introduced the oft-quoted dictum: ‘He who knows one [religion], knows none‘. Though a German-born and German-educated philologist, he spent the greater part of his career at Oxford, becoming one of the most famous of the Victorian arm-chair scholars. Müller wrote extensively on Indian philosophy and Vedic religion, translated major sections of
