Sensing the Sacred: Australian Perspectives (SMR#260)

How do we "sense the sacred," that "special mode of perception" noted by Sarah Coakley and Paul Gavrilyuk, where God becomes the object of our senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. This edition of the St Mark's Review focuses on what Australian theologians, philosophers and even our Australian context itself, might contribute to the conversation.
