Recent cognitive approaches to the study of religion have yielded
much understanding by focusing on common psychological processes
that all humans share. One leading theory, Harvey WhitehouseOs
modes of religiosity theory, demonstrates how two distinct modes of
organizing and transmitting religious traditions emerge from
different ways of activating universal memory systems. In Mind and
Religion, top scholars from biology to religious studies question,
test, evaluate and challenge WhitehouseOs sweeping thesis. The
result is an up-to-date snapshot of the cognitive science of
religion field for classes in psychology, anthropology, or history
of religion.
