A study in the philosophy of religion，this book retrieves and develops the tradition of American religious empiricism for contemporary inquiry. Clarifying the concepts of "experience," "justification," and "theism" from this perspective，the author offers critiques of classical，positivist，linguistic，and neopragmatic empiricisms. She finds in James and Dewey; in Wieman，Meland，and Loomer of the Chicago school; in whitehead; and in Abhidharma Buddhism constructive elements of a radically empirical approach to the controversial topic of religious experience.
