Abstract

[The matters of religion and religious experience are made up of multiple components. In the study of religion, and even in some theological approaches, it is increasingly becoming clear that religious experience is never merely a matter of ideas and doctrines, nor is it merely a matter of disembodied individual experiences or mindless practices. Crude idealism, which focuses on abstract ideas, is insufficient for the study of religion, if not misguided. The same can be said of crude materialism, which focuses on matter in a deterministic way, although religion and theology have less frequently been studied from this perspective.]
