Summary: Developed in classroom conversation with students and written in light of their reactions and the most up-to-date scholarship in the areas of both psychology and religion, this book provides a comprehensive psychological approach to the study of religious experience. The prevailing psychological point of view is a phenomenological one, and the overriding method is developmental. Although the author's stance is admittedly a product of the Judaeo-Christian heritage, his work encompasses the wisdom of other religions and secular statements of faith. He emphasizes the principles of process and development as the individual confronts spiritual reality in his daily existence. -- Book jacket.
