Reviews

In the exciting conversation between religious studies and brain science, too few of the participants have been practical or pastoral theologians. David Hogue's book fills that gap nicely. Hogue shows us how our growing understanding of how the human brain works may help us to worship more truthfully, preach more stirringly, counsel more wisely, and pray more deeply. This is an imaginative and accessible exploration of the science of faith in a book with a pastoral heart. -Cliff Guthrie, Bangor Theological Seminary Scientific advances in the study of the human brain are proceeding at 'warp speed, ' raising challenging questions about human consciousness, identity, and ultimately, faith. David Hogue offers here a cogent and eminently readable guide to brain research, the light it sheds on the processes of perception, memory and imagination, and the implication of these for pastoral counseling, worship, and spiritual practice . . . a very helpful contribution at the frontier of science and pastoral theology! -Pamela Cooper White, Columbia Seminary
