William James believed that individual religious experiences, rather than the precepts of organized religions, were the backbone of the world's religious life. His discussions of conversion, repentance, mysticism and saintliness, and his observations on actual, personal religious experiences - all support this thesis. In his introduction, Martin E. Marty discusses how James's pluralistic view of religion led to his remarkable tolerance of extreme forms of religious behaviour, his challenging, highly original theories, and his welcome lack of pretension in all of his observations on the individual and the divine.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBContributor: Martin Marty (Introduction by), Martin Marty (Edited by)Genre: Society & CultureTopic: Philosophy & SpiritualityRelease Year: 1983 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
