In this book, Phillip Wiebe examines religious, spiritual, and
mystical experiences, assessing how these experiences appear to
implicate a spiritual order. Despite the current prevalence of
naturalism and atheism, he argues that experiences purporting to
have a religious or spiritual significance deserve close empirical
investigation. Wiebe surveys the broad scope of religious
experience and considers different types of evidence that might
give rise to a belief in phenomena such as spirits, paranormal
events, God, and an afterlife. He demonstrates that there are
different explanations and interpretations of religious
experiences, both because they are typically personal accounts, and
they suggest a reality that is often unobservable. Wiebe also
addresses how to evaluate evidence for theories that postulate
unobservables in general, and a Theory of Spirits in particular.
Calling for more rigorous investigation of these phenomena, Wiebe
frames the study of religious experience among other accepted
social sciences that seek to understand religion.
