"The intersection of religion, religiousness, individual
differences in personality, and emotion, cognition, and social
behavior is an important and timely subject for serious and
sustained consideration by behavioral and cognitive scientists and
others who study religious behavior. Saroglou (Psychology,
University of Louvain, Belgium) has a long-running, wide-ranging
interest in religion, and with this volume he goes a long way
toward filling in the background and setting the agenda for such a
consideration. … As befits such a comprehensive collection, the
volume closes with a set of sensible conclusions and suggestions
for future research. A vital addition to the literature. Summing
Up: Essential. All readers." - R.R.Cornelius, Vassar College, in
CHOICE"Reading this impressive synopsis of new scholarship on the
social and personality psychology of religion, I said to myself:
This is a terrific, state-of-the-art resource. I want this book on
my shelf and in my college library." - David G. Myers, Ph.D., Hope
