| Summary: | Edwards and Lowis's critique of the Batson-Schoenrade-Ventis model issues a call for greater integrity in models of religious experience. Such a model should be able to endure across variations including length and intensity of experience, resultant life changes, and cultural setting. Their recommendations that we include moral questions among possible existential crises and attend to affective as well as cognitive components are well taken. Though the model does not exclude these elements, making them more explicit would indeed be appropriate. Their suggestion that the 4th stage (new life) be deleted seems at least premature. Movement toward greater integrity will enhance the understanding of religious experience and of the central role of religious concerns in the life of the person. |
