Religion and Cognition

This volume explores "cognition" in the study of religion-that is, the mental processes that govern religious belief and behavior across cultures and eras. The essays in the volume are scientific in nature and universal in scope. They address naturalistic stances taken to justify cognitive explanations of religion, theoretical models of cognition as they are employed in the cognitive science of religion, prominent cognitive theories of religion to date, methods used to gather data and test theories, and experimental findings by cognitive scientists of religion.Slone, D. Jason is the author of 'Religion and Cognition', published 2005 under ISBN 9780415977401 and ISBN 0415977401.
