Exploring the first-person narratives of three figures from
theChristian, Jewish, and Islamic mystical traditions -- St. Teresa
of Avila, Rabbi DovBaer, and R zbih n Baql -- Anthony J. Steinbock
provides a completephenomenology of mysticism based in the
Abrahamic religious traditions. He relates abroad range of
religious experiences, or verticality, to philosophical problems
ofevidence, selfhood, and otherness. From this philosophical
description of verticalexperience, Steinbock develops a social and
cultural critique in terms of idolatry-- as pride, secularism, and
fundamentalism -- and suggests that contemporaryunderstandings of
human experience must come from a fuller, more open view
ofreligious experience.
