Texte suppl.

In Living Religion, James Jones has once again offered us an interdisciplinary inquiry that is richly informative, arguing clearly and convincingly that psychology of religion should make religious practices the central subject of study, rather than beliefs or theological propositions taken apart from context and community. With a new emphasis on 'embodied cognition', Jones draws multiple strands of religious studies, philosophy, and psychology into fruitful dialogue, resulting not only in an impressively detailed argument, but a methodology too rarely seen and much to be emulated.
