The cognitive science of religion that has emerged over the last
twenty years is a multidisciplinary field that often challenges
established theories in anthropology and comparative religion. This
new approach raises many questions for biblical studies as well.
What are the cross-cultural cognitive mechanisms which explain the
transmission of biblical texts? How did the local and particular
cultural traditions of ancient Israel and early Christianity
develop? What does the embodied and socially embedded nature of the
human mind imply for the exegesis of biblical texts? "Mind,
Morality and Magic" draws on a range of approaches to the study of
the human mind - including memory studies, computer modeling,
cognitive theories of ritual, social cognition, evolutionary
psychology, biology of emotions, and research on religious
experience. The volume explores how cognitive approaches to
religion can shed light on classical concerns in biblical
scholarship - such as the transmission of traditions, ritual and
magic, and ethics - as well as uncover new questions and offer new
methodologies.
