About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"For those who attempt to integrate spirituality, religion, and religious thought into psychological, particularly psychotherapeutic, models, this multiedited book will be intriguing. … The book on the whole is thought provoking and brings a somewhat different focus to the field of religion and psychology than is usually found. … The serious scholar of psychology and religion may well wish to add it to his or her collection. Courses in theological seminaries, schools of religion, and programs of psychology would benefit … ." (Richard H. Cox, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 53 (6), 2008)
"The chapters in this book are based on papers presented in 2002 at an international conference, Psychological Aspects of Biblical Concepts and Persons, in Amsterdam. … attempts to address the overwhelming ‘numinous’ experience of man’s encounter with the divine, whether in the Bible or in pathological hallucination. … the book is aimed at clinicians, scholars and students of human behavior, the editors also hope to interest pastors and theologians." (Brian R. Skea, Journal of Religion and Health, Vol. 47, 2008)
