In dissertations such methods, among others, are used, as the method of ethnographic field research, the method of analysis and critique of writings, the comparative method and the theological method. Most attention was devoted to the ethnographic method, because ethnology is not included in the curriculum of theological studies. Due to the complexity of the subject of research, that is of religion, it requires a multi-faceted approach, so that its essence as well as the rites and rituals that are performed in it can be properly understood.plAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/metody naukoweetnologiaetnologia religiimetoda etnograficznametoda etnograficznych badań terenowychwywiadkwestionariuszobserwacjametoda analizy i krytyki piśmiennictwametoda porównawczametoda fenomenologicznametoda teologicznaprace dyplomowescientific methodsethnologyethnology of religionethnographic methodethnographic fieldwork methodinterviewquestionnaireparticipant observationmethod of analysis and criticism of written sourcescomparative methodphenomenological methodtheological methoddissertationsreligiareligionArticle
