Description

Acute Religious Experiences: Madness, Psychosis and Religious Studies explores how we discuss extraordinary and anomalous experiences in the 21st century. Part of the Bloomsbury Advances in Religious Studies series, this work examines the transhistorical and transcultural nature of these events. Richard Saville-Smith provides a critical look at how 20th-century humanities scholars often tried to erase madness from their subjects. This book highlights how the tendency to sanitize madness in religious studies often mirrored psychiatric instincts to reduce religious experiences to psychosis or dissociation. By introducing explanatory pluralism, the text offers a new way to approach the intersection of mental health and spiritual studies.
