The subtitle of William James' Varieties of Religious Experience is A Study in Human Nature. This panel presents work from a variety of scholars, each conditioned by different racial, gender or geographic contexts. According to James, no single perspective contains the entirety of the truth on any matter. Through consideration of how each scholar interacts with the religious philosophy of William James, this panel will try to arrive at a comprehensive yet pluralistic explanation of religious experience.

Two recent books on the films of Terrence Malick—Life Above the Clouds: Philosophy in the Films of Terrence Malick and Theology and the Films of Terrence Malick edited by Christopher Barnett and Clark Elliston—have revealed a growing interest in his philosophical and theological themes.

The panel hopes to explore aesthetic, philosophical, and theological undercurrents in his feature-length films.
