{"product_id":"9780253116901","title":"Phenomenology and Mysticism: The Verticality of Religious Experience","description":"Exploring the first-person narratives of three figures from the Christian, Jewish, and Islamic mystical traditions—St. Teresa of Avila, Rabbi Dov Baer, and Rūzbihān Baqlī—Anthony J. Steinbock provides a complete phenomenology of mysticism based in the Abrahamic religious traditions. He relates a broad range of religious experiences, or verticality, to philosophical problems of evidence, selfhood, and otherness. From this philosophical description of vertical experience, Steinbock develops a social and cultural critique in terms of idolatry—as pride, secularism, and fundamentalism—and suggests that contemporary understandings of human experience must come from a fuller, more open view of religious experience.","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120214294768,"sku":"9780253116901","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780253116901","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
