How does the mind experience the sacred? What biological mechanisms
are involved in mystical states and trances? Is there a
neurological basis for patterns in comparative religions? Does
religion have an evolutionary function? This pathbreaking work by
two leading medical researchers explores the neurophysiology of
religious experience. Building on an explanation of the basic
structure of the brain, the authors focus on parts most relevant to
human experience, emotion, and cognition. On this basis, they plot
how the brain is involved in mystical experiences. Successive
chapters apply this scheme to mythmaking, ritual and liturgy,
meditation, near-death experiences, and theology itself. Anchored
in such research, the authors also sketch the implications of their
work for philosophy, science, theology, and the future of religion.
