Exploring the tension between humanistic and social scientific approaches to thinking and writing about religion, Daniel Gold develops a line of argument that begins with the aesthetics of academic writing in the field. He shows that successful writers on religion employ characteristic aesthetic strategies in communicating their visions of human truths. Gold examines these strategies with regard to epistemology and to the study of religion as a collective endeavor.Religious literatureAuthorshipAestheticsReligious aspectsReligionMethodologyacademic.aesthetics.analysis.argument.belief.church history.critical thinking.epistemology.faith.human nature.humanism.humanistic.religion.religious belief.religious faith.religious history.religious studies.religious tradition.scholarly.science and religion.social sciences.social studies.theologian.theology.traditional.truth.Religious literatureAuthorship.AestheticsReligious aspects.ReligionMethodology.200/.7/2Gold Daniel1048842MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811896003321Aesthetics and analysis in writing on religion3933704UNINA
