*DESCRIPTION*

“Open Theology” (http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/opth) invites submissions
for the topical issue “Phenomenology of Religious Experience II:
Perspectives in Theology”,  prepared in collaboration with the Society for
the Phenomenology of Religious Experience (www.sophere.org).

The topic comprises phenomenological explorations of religious experience,
with special focus on papers written from a theological standpoint or in
relation to theology. This includes issues such as ethics and judgement of
religious experience, generation of theology (the so called theologies of
experience), contemporary theologies of social grace, theologies of nature
and gender, and the use of the phenomenological approach in the
investigation of theology itself (phenomenology of theology and related
aspects of phenomenology of religion). The issue is open to critical
philosophical appraisal of the category of religious experience *per se*,
especially in the way such criticisms contribute to the formulation of
modern theological discourse.  Finally, we are interested in papers that
address the role of experience in revelation, conversion, or spiritual
awakenings in phenomenological approaches to theology.

The first volume from the series “Phenomenology of Religious Experience”
was published in 2017 and it is available at
https://www.degruyter.com/view/j/opth.2017.3.issue-1/issue-files/opth.2017.3.issue-1.xml
