First sentence: IT has been said that 'definitions of psychology must express direction rather than delimitation', and it may be safely asserted that the same principle holds in the case of religion-if indeed any definition at all is to be attempted-for as numerous writers have pointed out, the name has been given to so great a variety of expressions of behaviour and experience that it is exceedingly difficult to formulate an accurate and clear-cut definition which covers them all.
