Abstract

Introduction to the Topical Issue “Phenomenology of Religious Experience III: Visuality, Imagination, and the Lifeworld”

Highlights

This topical issue of Open Theology is the third volume guest-edited by the Society for Phenomenology of Religious Experience (SoPheRe)
In this Society, we aim to describe, explicate, understand, and philosophically reflect upon religious experience by utilizing the phenomenological methods as they were developed by Husserl, Heidegger, and their followers
We do not want to directly claim that consciousness contains religious structures or processes; what we focus on, rather, are the distinctive ways that expressions of lived religious experience are connected to consciousness
