Religious experience in the Christian Life

Carl Young once wrote,'No matter what the world thinks about religious experience, the one who has it, possesses a great treasure'.

This well-informed, wide ranging study, is a fascinating apologia which advocates the importance, beauty and life transforming power of a vital, but often neglected dimension of human existence. 

It also sounds a cautionary note by pointing out, that the orthodoxy of religious experience must be measured against the parameters of traditional Christian teaching, in the belief that while dogmatic faith without religious experience is lifeless, religious experience without dogma is blind.
