Ninian Smart’s Seven Dimensional Model of Religion
Number of pages:
6
ABSTRACT:
This 6 page
report discusses the work of the religious educator and writer,
Ninian Smart. Smart utilized a seven-dimensional framework to
analyze the world’s religions in terms of ethics, ritual,
narrative or myth, experience, institutions, doctrine, and art.
Through and with each of those classifications or facets of
religious belief, he was able to more clearly articulate the
similarities of faith that exist among event the most widely
divergent populations. A possible weakness in the model is also
briefly considered. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
