Martin J. De Nys offers a philosophy of religion grounded within the phenomenological tradition as a way to understand religious life. Focusing on the key concepts of sacred transcendence, religious discourse, and radical self-transcendence, De Nys contends that a phenomenological view of religion allows considerable diversity in regard to the possibility of religious truth. Phenomenology also helps to account for the dizzying variety of religious expressions and religious lifeways. Ultimately, De Nys reaches a universal and complete method of describing a philosophical approach to religious life. This compelling book plays a valuable role in describing human engagement with religion.Indiana series in the philosophy of religion.ReligionPhilosophyTranscendence (Philosophy)Philosophical theologyPhenomenologyReligious lifeReligionPhilosophy.Transcendence (Philosophy)Philosophical theology.Phenomenology.Religious life.210De Nys Martin J.1945-1603264MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811963703321Considering transcendence3927572UNINA
