Myth, Mystery and the Unanswered Questions

Abstract

We turn now from the fruits of religion in human life and history to the belief-systems of the different traditions. Here much depends upon what we regard as the epistemological status and function of these beliefs. In this connection we need, I believe, not only a doctrine of religious knowledge but also a doctrine of religious ignorance.
