The Relationship Jesus Christ as a Template for Christian Religious Experience
Came across a short paper I wrote about 5 years ago at the request of a colleague.
This is the abstract that was prepared for it:
This paper examines the notion of having “a relationship with Jesus Christ” [ARJC], which has come to be a mantra for the modern Evangelical movement through the 19th century revivalist school of New England. The writer argues that rather than being a term with objective, measurable content, the ARJC serves instead as a template through which Evangelical Christians interpret their subjective religious experiences.
