Abstract

The precise nature and relationship between religious and political experiences has been the subject of much controversy and debate in recent years. It is well known that some religious experiences have been used to justify terrible political violence and ideologies, causing serious problems in the social and political life of modern citizens. The purpose of this book is to study the nature of religious experiences and work out their spiritual and political implications. Unlike spiritual experiences that limit themselves to the lives of the individual at a personal level, political experiences tend to have vast social consequences. This book advances the argument that religious experiences on many occasions have contributed immensely to spiritual and social progress, and that they must not be confused with political prejudices and motivated ideologies of some disgruntled individuals.

Abstract

Religious Experience Revisited explores a dilemma which has haunted the study of religion since William James. Is religion rooted in experiences? Is religion rooted in expressions? How are experiences and expressions related? The contributors to this international and interdisciplinary compilation explore the possibilities and the impossibilities of a hermeneutics of religion. Combining theology and philosophy with biblical, cultural, historical and literary studies, they examine how religious experiences and religious expressions have been entangled in the past and in the present. These entanglements call for interdisciplinary conversations in which those who study experiences and those who study expressions can learn from each other in order to carve out important and instructive spaces for the study of religion.

Abstract

Le christianisme, religion de l'Incarnation et de l'effusion de l'Esprit, est incontestablement une religion de l'expérience. Si cette notion longtemps suspectée a trouvé une juste place dans la théologie moderne, elle n'a toutefois pas été ignorée des scolastiques médiévaux, en particulier de saint Thomas.Pour l'Aquinate, en effet, la connaissance expérimentale, conçue comme une perception immédiate de réalités singulières, s'étend au champ du surnaturel : dynamisme des vertus théologales et jouissance des Personnes divines elles-mêmes.Riche de nombreuses références, cet ouvrage apporte en outre une contribution originale sur la doctrine thomasienne des sens spirituels, la place de la volonté dans l'acte de foi, ou encore l'interaction entre amour et connaissance.On trouvera dans ces pages les repères théologiques indispensables à un discernement spirituel, mais aussi une invitation à faire, dans le sillage de saint Thomas d'Aquin, l'expérience de Dieu.

Abstract

In the 25 years of its existence, Studies in Spirituality has been an attentive observer of the significant changes that have taken place in the field of spirituality. During this period, research in spirituality shifted not only towards the centre of theological reflection, it has also responded to a culture that sought to go beyond the boundaries of theology, on the one hand, and to the experience of globalisation on the other.In this volume, Rossano Zas Friz De Col S.l., Professor of Spirituality at the Institute of Spirituality of the Pontifical Gregorian University (Rome), presents a list of thirty-one articles previously published in Studies in Spirituality, which, from his perspective, merit reprinting. The reader will find a collection revolving around spiritual transformation as their center. The reprinted articles are preceded by a reflection on twenty-five years of Studies in Spirituality, in which professor Zas Friz decribes how Studies in Spirituality brings spiritual transformation into focus today, and how to understand that transformation in the present globalized world.
