It examines the meanings of the term, how ecstatic experience is understood in a range of religions, and why the importance of religious and mystical ecstasy has declined in the modern West. June McDaniel examines how the search for ecstatic experience has migrated into such areas as war, terrorism, transgression, sexuality, drug use, and anti-institutional forms of spirituality. She argues that the loss of religious and mystical ecstasy, as both a religious goal and as a topic of academic study, has had wide-ranging negative effects. She also proposes that the field of religious studies must go beyond criminalizing, trivializing and pathologizing ecstatic and mystical experiences. Both religious studies and theology need to take these states seriously as important aspects of lived human experience. 000939975 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed June 29, 2018). 000939975 650_0 $$aEcstasy. 000939975 830_0 $$aInterdisciplinary approaches to the study of mysticism. 000939975 852__ $$bebk 000939975 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-92771-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000939975 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:939975$$pGLOBAL_SET 000939975 980__ $$aEBOOK 000939975 980__ $$aBIB 000939975 982__ $$aEbook 000939975 983__ $$aOnline 000939975 994__ $$a92$$bISE
