520			_aA. Loisy’s and F. Cumont’s views about the religions of the Roman Empire were deeply embedded in their own complex and tense early 20th century. This paper investigates their ideas about the history of religions, from Antiquity until their own time. By studying a selection of their publications and correspondence we will show how their scholarly views were nourished by personal worldviews. Both scholars applied evolutionary schemes in an attempt at studying the history of religions in a scientific, non-biased way, thus forcefully rejecting a theological history of the “revelation”. We focus on WWI to explore how a divided world forced them to revise their scholarly discourse, and to reassess the belief that the history of religions was a linear progression towards universalism and morality.
