Abstract
The studies of science and religion, which turned into an academic field since the 1960s, have been fortunate enough to maintain their multi-discipline-inter-discipline nature and avoid becoming disciplinary. The specialization of research fields such as "science and religion" will cause the field of discussion and debate between thinkers of different fields, including scientists, theologians, and philosophers, to become such a specialized field that no one understands their language except for a few specialists. This multidisciplinary-interdisciplinary nature can be recognized not only in the variety of topics and disciplines involved but also in the range of research methods in this field, from comparative studies to historical-philosophical analysis.
