Religious Experience Reconsidered

Religious Experience Reconsidered (2009) is a book by Ann Taves on the study of religious experience. She proposes a new approach, which takes into account the attribution of religious meaning to specific events, using the term "specialness."^[1] "The focus of the book is on experiences deemed religious (and, by extension, other things considered special) rather than "religious experience.""^[1]
