Description: "Continuously in print since its original publication a century ago, William James's The Varieties of a Religious Experience is an enduring exploration of the intersection of science and religion. Yet for all its popularity, the work has not received the critical attention it deserves. In this broad-ranging collection, six eminent scholars consider the influence and continuing relevance of Varieties." "Employing a variety of critical approaches, William James and a Science of Religions reveals new relationships between James's analysis of religion and contemporary debates in philosophy, religious studies, and the social sciences."--BOOK JACKET.
