Sobre este artículo
Leiden: Brill, 2012. First edition. Hardcover. near fine. Octavo. viii, 277, (1)pp. Index and 15 page bibliography. Pictorial buckram with lilac/gray spine lettered in white. Illustrated with several photographs and drawings. A fine but ex-library copy (with minimal markings; i.e. rubber stamps on title page & bottom of text block).
This book reflects on the implications of neurobiology and the scientific worldview on aspects of religious experience, belief, and practice. Just as interest in the neurosciences and related fields has burgeoned in contemporary society, interest in the fields of neuroscience and cognitive studies is also growing within the religious studies academy, and reflection on these shifts is well overdue. How do religious practitioners negotiate the interconnection of science and religion? What can the neurosciences add to scholars' understanding of religion and to how humans construct religious meaning? Chapters address these questions by investigating religious experience and authority, the cultural construction and deconstruction of the body, and cross-cultural appropriations of the body.
