Rezensionen

"The Cognitive Science of Religion ('CSR' for short) is often described as a 'new field' but it is rapidly maturing and that is why this introduction is urgently needed. Claire White is exceptionally well placed to provide it, having been among the first cohort of researchers to be trained in the field and now America's first tenure track professor in CSR. This book is essential reading for any student interested in the scientific study of religion."

Harvey Whitehouse, Oxford University, UK.

"This outstanding first-of-its kind introductory text on the cognitive science of religion represents a major step forward for this rapidly growing and high impact discipline. This groundbreaking book, written by one of the field's foremost experts, is authoritative, accessible, and inclusive. I have no doubt that it will become part of the canon of core literature in the cognitive science of religion and will be instrumental in building this fascinating field of study."

Cristine H. Legare, University of Texas at Austin, USA.
