The book provides a series of approaches to the ancient question of
whether and how God is a matter of aexperience, a or, alternately,
to what extent the notion of experience can be true to itself if it
does not include God. On the one hand, it seems impossible to
experience God: the deity does not offer Himself to sense
experience. On the other hand, there have been mystics who have
claimed to have encountered God. The essays in this collection seek
to explore the topic again, drawing insights from phenomenology,
theology, literature, and feminism. Throughout, this stimulating
collection maintains a strong connection with concrete rather than
abstract approaches to God.The contributors: Michael F. Andrews,
