Phenomenology of Prayer

Informationen zum Autor Bruce Ellis Benson is Distinguished Visiting Scholar in Philosophy, Loyola Marymount University. Norman Wirzba is Professor of Theology and Ecology at Duke University's Divinity School and Research Professor of Theology and Ecology at Duke's Nicholas School for the Environment. Klappentext This collection of ground-breaking essays considers the many dimensions of prayer: how prayer relates us to the divine; prayers ability to reveal what is essential about our humanity; the power of prayer to transform human desire and action; and the relation of prayer to cognition. It takes up the meaning of prayer from within a uniquely phenomenological point of view, demonstrating that The Phenomenology of Prayer is as much about the character and boundaries of phenomenological analysis as it is about the heart of religious life.
