| Abstract | Conflict in the testimony of religious experiences appears to seriously
undercut its evidential value. Arguments that make positive appeal to the evidence
of religious experience usually deal with this objection by denying evidential value
to the particularistic elements in such experience as descriptive of an ultimate
religious reality and an ultimate human end. Using the work of Jerome Gellman, I
contend that the referential value of diverse and particular religious testimony can
be saved. I suggest that the strongest form of this argument requires two
assumptions: the possibility of multiple religious ends and intrinsic complexity in
the religious object. If the argument is valid, these assumptions may also serve as
theological criteria. |
