The Religious Man

by Antoine Vergote

The aim of this book is to bring together the main topics in religious psychology, to interpret them and to develop them on some essential points. This project is elaborated in a masterly way and in a manner which makes the discussion easily accessible to the nonprofessional reader. Among the themes considered are the nature and structure of religious experience, the different motivations of religious behavior, the tensions and structures of the religious attitude, religious conversion and atheism. There is also an extremely valuable section on religion during childhood and adolescence.
