For Welch the central challenge for the field of religious studies was to establish its "identity" in a post-Schempp world, referring to the landmark 1963 Supreme Court case that endorsed the study of religion in U.S. higher education.

This article lays out some provisional recommendations, as Welch did in the early 70s.
