The Sense of God: Sociological, Anthropological and Psychological Approaches to the Origin of the Sense of God

by John Bowker

Book Overview

How do human beings arrive at a sense of God? What shapes our sense, or senses, of God? What happens when our sense of God comes under strain? This book examines possible responses to all these questions as they relate to sociology, anthropology and psychology. Probing such subjects as Freudian theory, the physiology of the brain and religious ceremonies surrounding death and burial, this work has been written for a wide readership.
