Reviews

One of the highlights of the volume is the rich bibliography (these were conference talks, after all) and the book can serve as an interesting, if not unconventional, entry point into the field of cognitive study of religion, whatever your perspectival orientation. -- Matthew Dowling, Oklahoma Christian University, US * Theological Book Review *
