Theories of Religious Experience

Theories of Religious Experience explore how personal encounters with the divine or transcendent inform belief systems. In epistemology, which studies the nature of knowledge, these theories analyze how such experiences can justify religious beliefs. Some argue these experiences are genuine insights into a higher reality, while others view them as psychological phenomena influenced by culture or emotional states. Overall, these theories raise questions about the validity, interpretation, and implications of religious experiences in understanding faith and knowledge in religion.
