About this title

Synopsis

This book initiates readers into the radiant world of theology by explaining it through the prism of human experience. The author masterfully contrasts three schools of thought—the cloistral, the clinical, and the pragmatic—to reveal how they interpret religious truths. The cloistral method draws on philosophy and tradition rather than human experience to understand religion. The clinical method, on the other hand, emphasizes the centrality of religious experience as a pathway to apprehending religious truth. Finally, the pragmatic approach regards religious ideas as tools that gain meaning from their practical usefulness. The book's profound exploration into the interplay between these different methods encourages readers to use their own experiences as lenses through which to comprehend the divine.
