This paper discusses what the Study of Cultural Interaction will be and its methodological problems in reference of the case of the History of Religions. This was established in the middle of 19th century and intended to integrate various religious studies which had began in Oriental Studies and Cultural Anthropology. The main task of the Study of Cultural Interaction is the integral understanding of various cultural interactions, and the dynamics and complexity of cultural changes. However, sophisticated cultures have been studied in History based on texts and documents, but archaic and folk cultures whose original texts have hardly been made have been researfched by means of fieldsworks in Anthropology. The synthesis of these cultural studies will be difficult. Explaining main methodologies of other related disciplines, this paper will present a core program and methodology of the new discipline, which will hopefully inspire further discussions.
