There is an interesting knowledge trajectory that God remains
incomprehensible, not imperceptible. This lends credence to the
fact that religious study since the Enlightenment has dedicated
itself almost entirely to the problem of reconciling the
non-existence of God in the physical world with his necessary
existence in the metaphysical world. When seriously examined, it
would be discovered that these two aspects are logically
contradictory, and this is a problem with no solution. But
interpreting God not as a physical being but as a phenomenological
thing changes the nature of the problem enough that a solution
emerges almost automatically. In this phenomenological model, the
crux of the matter is that God does not exist, but God is real.
Therefore, it is imperative to return to experience and
verifiability, hence, purging it of unexamined and often hidden
assumptions. Phenomenological Approaches to Religion and
Spirituality brings together the different disciplines and research
approaches to provide a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenology
of God and spirituality, as well as offering an effective
epistemological apparatus capable of dealing with this concept. The
book employs multidisciplinary approaches from religious studies,
theology, philosophy, anthropology, and other segments to dissect
the subject matter for efficient evaluation and all-inclusive
findings. While covering various aspects of religion such as the
testaments of the Bible, the church, the religious experience, and
various aspects of spirituality, this book is intended for
theologians, philosophers, religious leaders, policymakers,
academicians, researchers, students, public institutions, and
agencies with a special interest in religious matters, values,
knowledge, and truth.
