[ 3.0 stars ] ""Explaining" religion has been a cottage industry within the field of anthropology at least since its academic institutionalization in the United States about a century ago. Pascal Boyer, the Henry Luce Professor of Individual and Collective Memory at Washington University in St. Louis, rejects almost all of these traditional explanations out of hand in the first chapter of his book, and not with ..."

[ 4.0 stars ] "Religion Explained: The human instincts that fashion gods, spirits and ancestors by Pascal Boyer, Heinemann, 2001; Vintage (Random House) 2002, 448 ff.This is a book for the serious student of the psychology of religion that could be read as a companion to, say, William James' The Varieties of Religious Experience - though Boyer's book is not as readable for the layman.

Boyer made his explanations using terminology that was unnecessaril ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 3.0 stars ] "It is a bit dryly written; a better introduction to this subject is Matthew Alpers' "God and the Brain".
