Some have appealed to extraordinary religious experience in making their case. Religious Experience, Justification and History restores neglected explanatory and historical considerations to the debate. Through a study of William James, it contests the accounts of religious experience offered in recent works. Through reflection on the history of philosophy, it also unravels the philosophical use of the term 'justification'. Matthew Bagger argues that the commitment to supernatural explanations implicit in the religious experiences employed to justify religious belief contradicts the modern ideal of human flourishing. For contrast, and to demonstrated the indispensability of history, he includes a study of Teresa of Avila's mystical theology. The controversial supernatural explanations implicit in extraordinary religious experience places the burden of proof on the believer. 517 3 $aReligious Experience, Justification, & History 606 $aExperience (Religion) 606 $aReligion$xPhilosophy 615 0$aExperience (Religion) 615 0$aReligion$xPhilosophy. 676 $a291.4/2 700 $aBagger$b Matthew C.$01046057 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456207203321 996 $aReligious experience, justification, and history$92489782 997 $aUNINA
