rapidly growing, an impressive secondary literature (handbooks, introductions, etc.) is available
already, infrastructure has been developed (a number of new journals devoted to the subject
have been founded, organizations have been established, increasingly funding is going to the

Rezension zu „Psychology of Religion “
From the reviews:This volume of autobiographical accounts from some of the mostfamous international scholars in the psychology of religion will appeal to psychologists of religion and those interested in the discipline, as well as intellectual historians interested in tracing an irreducibly complex area of study that is undisputedly more heterogeneous than its parent discipline of psychology. Rather than providing pat answers to the origins and vicissitudes of the theories in this discipline, the editor brilliantly employs autobiographical accounts to provide the interpreter the freedom necessary to discover pattern, contradiction, and to discover the ways in which psychology of religion has mounted a modest resurgence in the contemporary era after an ostensible disciplinary death. This book chronicles the survival of a marginalized discipline of study through very hard times and is therefore a contribution to understanding the ways in which larger historical patterns condition the validity and usefulness of types of knowledge; this enormous task is masterfully executed with apparent ease through idiosyncratic autobiographical accounts. It remains moot whether or not the proper autobiographies have been chosen and what cause this will have on future interpreters of the discipline and this book. This weakness is accounted for by the editor's frank admission in his well-written introduction. Joseph M. KrampJohn Jay College (CUNY)

The intended audience includes 'readers in general psychology, religious studies, and philosophy of science.' ...
