Book description
The book provides
a series of approaches to the ancient question of whether and how God is a
matter of “experience,” or, alternately, to what extent the notion of
experience can be true to itself if it does not include God. On the one
hand, it seems impossible to experience God: the deity does not offer
Himself to sense experience. On the other hand, there have been mystics who
have claimed to have encountered God. The essays in this collection seek to
explore the topic again, drawing insights from phenomenology, theology,
literature, and feminism. Throughout, this stimulating collection maintains
a strong connection with concrete rather than abstract approaches to God.
