Written by Charles Carroll Everett, a prominent theologian and professor at Harvard University, the book is a collection of lectures that he delivered on the topic of religious faith and its psychological underpinnings.Everett argues that religious faith is not simply a matter of belief in a set of doctrines, but is also deeply rooted in the human psyche. He explores the psychological mechanisms that give rise to religious experiences, such as feelings of awe, wonder, and transcendence, and how these experiences are related to our sense of meaning and purpose in life.Throughout the book, Everett draws on a wide range of examples from different religious traditions, including Christianity, Judaism, and Buddhism, to illustrate his points. He also engages with the work of other prominent thinkers in the field of psychology and religion, such as William James and Sigmund Freud.Overall, The Psychological Elements of Religious Faith is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the complex relationship between psychology and religion, and is a must-read for anyone interested in these topics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
