Description
This volume argues that we need to recover concepts from the distortions of philosophy. The author aims to show the consequences for an understanding of religion of the epistemic divides which can be found in contemporary philosophy of religion, divides between belief and practice, the world and God, religious experience and religious contexts. By closing these divides, he says that religious significance is given its proper place.
