Religion is not only about understanding the world - it is just as
much about how to develop and shape the self's experience of
itself. Because the religious self is shaped by our symbols of God
- and symbols of God are also shaped by the self, theology and
philosophy of religion cannot ignore this interplay, or the
psychological dimension, when they discuss what symbols of God are
adequate and not. By discussing critically different ways the
symbol of God functions in the formation of the self, the book
develops a nuanced and original approach to the interplay between
God and the self. It suggests that play is actually an important
metaphor in order to develop a dynamic understanding of religion's
way of relating God and the Self. This approach challenges
understandings of religion focussing only its cognitive claims, as
well as those who emphasize doctrinal orthodoxy as the most
important element in religion.
