Abstract The article investigates religious experience in relation to the hermeneutics of desire and interreligious dialogue. After summarizing Schleiermacher's thought on religious experience, the article presents some ideas on religious experience in light of the insights of several contemporary thinkers. Robert Doran's proposal for a hermeneutics of desire is enlisted to help clarify the nature of religious experience. This article concludes by suggesting that further study of the notion of desire, especially as it relates to religious experience, holds out some promising possibilities for interreligious dialogue.
