A "fascinating and provocative study"* "[This] book is rightfully subtitled 'A Social-Psychological Perspective,' for religion is placed in the context of what is traditionally social-psychological research. It follows the trend of recent social psychology by focusing almost entirely on the effect of the group on the person.... The ideas are provocative and often insightful.... A number of worthwhile theoretical positions are presented and labeled as such.... Well worth reading, particularly for those with some background in the psychology of religion." --*Contemporary Psychology. "comprehensive and insightful.... A well-organized, technically correct discussion refreshingly free of jargon. The analysis is careful, integrating the depth of a mature experience and knowledge." ---Journal of Psychology and Religion
