The Specific Character of Religious Experience

Summary/Abstract: The paper seeks to outline the specific character of religious experience. Having first explained the concepts “experience” and religion,” the author goes on to carry out a psychological profile of religious experience. Treating theologico-philosophical considerations as his source of inspiration and external criterium of reference, he narrows the understanding of the concept “religious experience” and distinguishes it from a quasi-religious experience. Doing that, he uses numerous suggestions with which psychological literature abounds. The proposed lists of criteria with which to assess how authentic a religious experience is, has an open character and makes up of invitation addressed to psychologists to supplement it further.
