Özet

The purpose of this article is to present a general panorama of studies of Turkish History of Religions. This article isn't a study of bibliography. But in this article will be discussed books, thesis and articles of history of religions as general. Studies of history of religions in Turkey began with lessons of history of religions (tarih-i edyan) in Darulfunun. Studies were interrupted by closing Darulfunun Divinity Seminary and have restarted with opening of Ankara University Faculty of Divinity in 1949. Since that time studies have shown a rapid increase. Today, the history of religious studies is continuing to increase.
