Workshop of Being - Religious Affections Their Pragmatic Results in Though of Jonathan

The Workshop of Being brings into conversation Jonathan Edwards and William James on the pragmatic value of religious experience. The author shows how Edwards and James employ psychological dynamics and theological and philosophical investigations to interpret religious feeling and its value for the transformation of an unfinished universe in need of repair. The Workshop of Being offers a meditative analysis of the work of America's two greatest thinkers on the nature of religious experience.
