LECTURE NOTES ON TOPIC "RELGIOUS QUESTIONS" Characteristics of "extraordinary (human) experience" break out of routine pattern ambiguous. differing interpretations powerful influence lead us to think seriously about meaning/direction of our lives "Great Questions" Qs of Ultimate Meaning, Purpose, Living/Human Condition Arise from Extraordinary Experience Human Questions = Religious Questions "Existential" Qs Features Concrete, personal, self-involving, self-defining "Mystery," not "Problem" The notion of "human transcendence" The constitutive, unceasing, impulse/drive/dynamism/capacity to raise questions about life and its meaning The constitutive desire/search for knowledge and meaning The capacity to raise questions about the meaning and significance of things, and ultimately, about the meaning of life/your life. "From experience to meaning..." To be a human being is to have "experience with experiences" "Philosophy" The attitude of open wonder before the Ultimate Question. "Religious Tradition(s)" Religious Traditions (Religions) are the "places" or communities where people grapple with the depth-dimension of human life. As a "context" for experience, they are limiting and enabling. Religious traditions are "biased" (in the good sense of the word) Need to distinguish "Tradition" from "Traditionalism" Tradition = "the living ideas of the dead" Traditionalism = "the dead ideas of the living" Ernesto Cort s "Decide for yourself, yes, but don't do it alone." Dr. James Heft, SM "Religion" "Re-ligare" = "to bind together" (that which has been disconnected) "Congregations convey traditions that connect people in the present and hold them accountable to the past and <a href="/keyword/future-generations/" >future generations</a> ." Ernesto Cort s "Solitary questioner" ~~~~ "Independent thinker" "Contextual questioner" ~~~~~ "Interdependent thinker"
