An Introduction to the Theory of Religious Knowledge Demand

We have tried in this paper to extract the theory of “religious knowledge demand” in the framework of economics but with an Islamic approach. Its empirical examination entails another opportunity. To include a broader scope, the term “knowledge” has been used instead of “science” because it often used in empirical sciences.Explaining capital and consumer nature of “religious knowledge” based on new institutionalism methodology, the demand function of religious knowledge is extracted finally. The author regarding his research proposal is bound to launch an empirical study based on this theoretical framework after its accomplishment. Need not to say that the commentaries and complementary notes on this paper, which have been an object of its publication, will be highly appreciated.
