In the 1990s great strides were taken in clarifying how the brain
is involved in behaviors that, in the past, had seldom been studied
by neuroscientists or psychologists. This book explores the
progress begun during that momentous decade in understanding why we
behave, think and feel the way we do, especially in those areas
that interface with religion. What is happening in the brain when
we have a religious experience? Is the soul a product of the mind
which is, in turn, a product of the brain? If so, what are the
implications for the Christian belief in an afterlife? If God
created humans for the purpose of having a relationship with him,
should we expect to find that our spirituality is a biologically
evolved human trait? What effect might a disease such as
Alzheimer's have on a person's spirituality and relationship with
God? Neuroscience and psychology are providing information relevant
to each of these questions, and many Christians are worried that
their religious beliefs are being threatened by this research.
Kevin Seybold attempts to put their concerns to rest by presenting
some of the scientific findings coming from these disciplines in a
way that is understandable yet non-threatening to Christian belief.
