Description: Psychology of Religion examines 19th- and 20th-century thinkers, from Freud to Fromm to Allport, from a new, international perspective. The twenty-two contributors are today's leading psychologists who work in Europe, the U.S., Australia, and Israel, among them John Carter, Gary Collins, and David Myers. This volume began in a special issue of the Journal of Psychology and Religion published in 1986. To those articles, the contributors each have added one new essay. Other writers have been included. The result is a well rounded historical and personal retrospective. Subjects explored include religious experience, personality theory, psychopathology, research methods, social and clinical psychology, and the integration of psychology and theology.
