FASTING AND THE BEATIFIC VISION- A Philosophical Appraisal of Fasting in Religious Experience

Journal Title: Advance Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Discoveries - Year 2018, Vol 29, Issue 29

Abstract

This paper appraised fasting in the religious experience of man. The main focus as such was to take a second look or re-examine the meaningfulness and truth, and religious significance of fasting. The justification of this effort is to be found in the fact that fasting is one of those common but crucial aspects of most religions which tends to always escape the scrutinizing attention of most philosophers of religion.The work actually looked simple only in the contemplation, the task of doing it actually was overbearing. This study was further necessitated by the need to constantly review the many tributaries to human heritage. Hence, this write-up on fasting as an aspect of human religious experience reached certain challenging conclusions.
