Knowing my Stuff

Fortunately, as I already have an interest in Philosophy, Religion and Ethics I also study Religious Studies at A level. In our first year one of our topics is religious experience, I found this interesting and is one of the reasons why this as my topic. Audience rely on that what they watch on a documentary is true, which is why it is important for me to do extra research. 

What is Religious Experience?

Religious experience is a specific experience such as wonder at the infinity of the cosmos, the sense of awe and mystery in the presence of the sacred or holy, feeling of dependence on a divine power or an unseen order, the sense of guilt and anxiety accompanying belief in a divine judgment, or the feeling of peace that follows faith in divine forgiveness. Some thinkers also point to a religious aspect to the purpose of life and the destiny of the individual.
