Produktinformationen zu „Religious Genius “
Klappentext zu „Religious Genius “
This book sets forth a new area in the study of extraordinary individuals in religious traditions. It develops the category of "Religious Genius" as an alternative to existing categories, primarily "saint." It constructs a model by which to appreciate these individuals, suggesting key characteristics such as love, humility, and self-surrender. Religious geniuses transform their traditions and their legacies endure through these very transformations. They also inspire changes across religious boundaries and traditions. The study of religious geniuses in various faith traditions therefore advances interfaith engagement today. The book complements existing, primarily historical, studies of saints by offering a phenomenological approach that seeks to touch the subjectivity of these individuals, and how they have affected the unfolding of their religious traditions.

Pressezitat
"The volume ... not only mirrors the scrupulous reflection processes that preceded its emergence but provides also much-valued insights into the kitchen of interreligious encounters. ... In addition to being a 'must read' for everybody interested in interreligious issues, the volume provides also valuable philosophical and methodological insights." (Dirk-Martin Grube, NTT Journal for Theology and the Study of Religion, Vol. 73 (1), 2019)
