Religion from the Inside : Sixth Annual Conference 2023

Abstract

Within some religions, the inside view is engaged mainly with questions of theology: the contemplation of the divine and all things in relation thereto. Within others, it is preoccupied with the conforming of human action to a more-than-human law. In yet other, an emic perspective focuses on the practice and experience of ritual. Reflection on sacred texts is common to many traditions, yet often differs in the consideration of the same documents.
