Notes

Such a detailed analysis is provided in Hannam (2016).

While some readers may argue that the point we are making here belongs to the domain of philosophy of religion rather than theology, we do think that answers to the question as to what it means to be religious also have strong theological import.

Note that we suggest that the attention should be aimed at the possibility of transcendence, not to what transcends or is transcendent.
