For over a century, psychologists interested in religion have been studying this subject and publishing about it. Theologians and religious practitioners respond to this literature, which has led to a fascinating dialogue about fundamental insights into humanity and our place in the world. This book provides a clear overview of the most important conversations that have emerged from this exchange.
Complexity of the field
The interaction between psychology and religion is difficult to investigate for various reasons:
- It requires knowledge of both psychology and religion.
- Psychologists sometimes lack in-depth knowledge of religious traditions, while theologians are often not fully aware of recent psychological developments.
- Conceptual tools are needed to organize the material and understand the core issues. These can be found in philosophical and theological literature, which is often complex for non-specialists.
- Authors come from diverse academic and personal backgrounds, leading to rich conversations but also to a challenge in understanding the material.
