Description
This philosophical investigation by Mark Owen Webb delves into the intricate relationship between monotheism and direct religious experience. Webb argues that understanding monotheistic religions requires examining not just doctrinal claims but the lived experiences of believers who report encounters with the divine.
The book addresses fundamental questions about how religious experiences authenticate monotheistic belief systems and the role such experiences play in sustaining faith. Webb explores the epistemological challenges of grounding theological claims in subjective experience while maintaining philosophical rigor.
Through careful analysis of various monotheistic traditions, the author demonstrates how believers’ experiences of transcendence, mystical encounters, and divine presence contribute to the coherence and persuasiveness of monotheistic worldviews. Published by Cambridge University Press, this work provides essential reading for philosophers of religion, theologians, and anyone interested in understanding the foundations of contemporary monotheistic faith.
