This title was first published in 2001: Engaging contemporary
discussion concerning the validity of mystical experiences of God,
Jerome Gellman presents the best evidential case in favor of
validity and its implications for belief in God. Gellman vigorously
defends the coherence of the concept of a mystical experience of
God against philosophical objections, and evaluates attempts to
provide alternative explanations from sociology and
neuropsychology. He then carefully examines feminist objections to
male philosophers' treatments of mystical experience of God and to
the traditional hierarchal concept of God. Gellman finds none of
the objections decisive, and concludes that while the initial
evidential case is not rationally compelling for some, it can be
rationally compelling for others. Offering important new
perspectives on the evidential value of experiences of God, and the
concept of God more broadly, this book will appeal to a wide range
of readers including those with an interest in philosophy of
religion, religious studies, mysticism and epistemology.
