In other words they were,...

Numinous experience—as the felt sense of the sacred—evokes feelings of allone unity, communality, humility, and healing. Its schematization in the absolutes of traditional religion can also be seen as all-encompassing symbolic unifications of an otherwise fragmented human life-world—as more analytically depicted in the life-world phenomenologies of Husserl and Heidegger. In both feeling and...

This article is devoted to refuting the concept of Yong-Chi Rhie, who proposes to read the narrative of the calling of the prophet Ezekiel as a shamanic illness (in Korean shamanism).

To analyze the problem, all key...
