| Sumario: | Experiential dimensions characterize charismatic traditions in religions. The aim of this paper is to present a comparative discussion of a particular phenomenon in charismatic Christianity and Islamic traditions, namely the revelatory utterance. Believers within these traditions understandably assume such utterances to be from God and, hence, revelatory. The question however, is: how do they address the problem of the authority of such utterances in the context of their respective broader mainstream traditions? Focusing on three particular aspects, namely, scriptures, role models and theology, the paper suggests that far from ignoring mainstream traditions, the revelatory utterance is seen to be informed by it. |
