First published in 1902, William James's Varieties of Religious
Experience is considered a classic in religious studies and the
psychology of religion. But how has James's classic study weathered
decades of development in psychology and behavioral sciences? Do
the assertions about religious experience in the Varieties still
ring true in light of neuro-cognitive and neuro-hormonal research,
resiliency studies, studies of temperament, and traumatic studies?
By extending William James's own research throughout the century
since its publication this volume seeks to answer those questions.
In doing so, it revolutionizes our understanding of James's own
view of psychology and reveals the extraordinary value of James's
perspective for religion, psychology, and spirituality today. In
doing so, it offers vital insights for pastoral care and faith
development at both the individual and congregational level. From
the Introduction by James Fowler: Drawing on the authenticity of
her own experience, Bridgers carries us into a remarkably clear and
well documented account that traces William James's evolution as a
psychologist, philosopher, and a deeply engaged inquirer into the
dynamics of spiritual development and transformation... This book
has a major contribution to make. Bridgers's study illumines the
horizons of contemporary research in the study of religious
experience, in all its varieties, and in the context of
globalization.
