'... Gellman, who is a leading contributor to the debate over the evidential value of mystical experience, tackles a series of objections that have been raised to his defence of mystical experience as providing significant evidence for theism... Gellman's book addresses many of the issues currently central to discussion of the epistemic import of mystical experience and...touches upon several other significant matters as well. This lively new contribution to the growing literature on the epistemology of religious experience will give all of us who are interested in the ongoing debates much food for further thought.' www.arsdisputandi.org 'As one of the inaugural volumes in this new Ashgate series, this text leads the philosophical community to expect a high quality discussion in future volumes.'
