However, Ricoeur sees it as a challenge that comes from the text to the reader. <BR/><BR/>What you are describing sounds more like an adaptation of William James' work on religious experience, especially with Starbuck's Twice Born category. If you want an excellent and accessible read on this Charles Taylor has a recent book called Varieties of Religion Today. It isn't too long, and it is an updated look at James' classic Varieties of Religious Experience.One of Freedomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02479227411431959461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13643646.post-86357199338445404782008-04-16T19:54:00.000-05:002008-04-16T19:54:00.000-05:00Hmmm.

Both begin with a 'crisis' experience, which sounds very much like your 'mimesis 1.' But then we combined 2 and 3 into what we termed the 'process.'<BR/><BR/>i.e., Salvation and Holiness both begin with a crisis experience, the experience of the encounter, and then we step out into the process of internalizing, or as you say 'appropriating' the faith, or the Second Work of Grace.<BR/><BR/>Am I close?Cleireachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09663623624406561851noreply@blogger.com
