Multifaceted studies of different levels and aspects of domestic typological studies of religiosity indicate that these studies lack a comprehensive and logical model for typological study of religiosity. This lack of model and framework, has caused the previous studies suffer from several disarrays and serious defects. In order to prove this contention, it is necessary to review and critically study the typological studies of religiosity in order to attain a model for future typological studies of religiosity. The findings of the present critical study and research indicate that the shortcomings of the previous studies include the followings: lack of proper definition of concepts, lack of allusion to the method, subject and criterion for typology, lack of illustration of the path of study and finally lack of logic in these typological studies. Through offering a “background map” of typological studies of religiosity, the present paper has presented some solutions for removal of the said shortcomings and finally has proposed a framework for typological study of religiosity.
