Contents:

Brain machinery : the science of perception -- Brain architecture : how the brain makes the mind -- Myth-making : the compulsion to create stories and beliefs -- Ritual : the physical manifestation of meaning -- Mysticism : the biology of transcendence -- The origins of religion : the persistence of a good idea -- Realer than real : the mind in search of absolutes -- Why God won't go away : the metaphor of God and the mythology of science -- Epilogue : so just what is neurotheology anyway?

Subject: In Why God Won't Go Away, Newberg and d'Aquili document their pioneering explorations in the field of neurotheology, an emerging discipline dedicated to understanding the complex relationship between spirituality and the brain. Blending cutting-edge science with illuminating insights into the nature of consciousness and spirituality, they bridge faith and reason, mysticism and empirical data. The neurological basis of how the brain identifies the "real" is nothing short of miraculous. This fascinating, eye-opening book dares to explores both the miracle and the biology of our enduring relationship with God.
