Abstract

In this wide ranging work Yandell defends the thesis that religious experience provides evidence for religious belief, in particular for the existence of God. He is thereby led into a wide variety of issues—the epistemology of experiential evidence, claims to the ineffability of religious experience and of God, naturalistic explanations of religious experience and religious belief, the idea that religious experience is “self-authenticating”, and many others. A valuable aspect of the book is that it goes beyond exclusive attention to theistic religious experience to include a consideration of “enlightenment experiences” and other forms of Eastern non-theistic experiences.
