RELIGION AND UNVEILING THE WORLD

ABSTRACT. Promey maintains that the process of self-scrutiny involved a fundamental activity of matching aspects of the individual life to an internalized visual and verbal glossary of biblical types and emblems. Maffly-Kipp compiles Protestant representations of Chinese religious practice in America. Taves holds that we should distinguish between “religious experience” as an abstract concept, which has played a prominent role in modern religious thought, and “religious experiences” as specific behavioral events. Gedicks and Hendrix assert that religious experience reveals the meaning of the world. (pp. 131–135)
