1. Introduction -- 2. Religious Genius - An Overview -- 3. "Religious Genius" - Choosing a Category -- 4. A Methodology for Studying Religious Genius : Constructing a Model -- 5 Religious Genius in the Real Life of Community -- 6. Religious Genius and Interreligious Reality -- 7. Studying "Saints" - an overview of methods and approaches to the study of saints -- 8. Religious Genius - History of a Category -- 9. Sample Teaching on Religious Genius -- 10. Saints and Religious Geniuses as Inspiration for Character Formation -- 11. Response by Robert Cummings Neville -- 12. Response by Jerome Yehuda Gellman.
This book sets forth a new area in the study of extraordinary individuals in religious traditions. It develops the category of "Religious Genius" as an alternative to existing categories, primarily "saint." It constructs a model by which to appreciate these individuals, suggesting key characteristics such as love, humility, and self-surrender. Religious geniuses transform their traditions and their legacies endure through these very transformations. They also inspire changes across religious boundaries and traditions. The study of religious geniuses in various faith traditions therefore advances interfaith engagement today. The book complements existing, primarily historical, studies of saints by offering a phenomenological approach that seeks to touch the subjectivity of these individuals, and how they have affected the unfolding of their religious traditions.
