Normative Psychology Of Religion - Henry Nelson Wieman - Bog

Normative Psychology of Religion is a book written by Henry Nelson Wieman that explores the psychological aspects of religious experience. Wieman argues that religion is not simply a matter of faith or belief, but rather a complex psychological phenomenon that is deeply rooted in human experience. He suggests that religion has the power to transform a person's life and to provide a sense of meaning and purpose.Wieman's approach to the psychology of religion is normative, meaning that he is concerned with what ought to be rather than what is. He argues that religion should be seen as a way of life that is grounded in personal experience and that is aimed at achieving ultimate goals such as self-realization and the realization of the divine.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of Wieman's approach to the psychology of religion and discusses the nature of religious experience. The second part explores the role of religious experience in personal growth and transformation. The third part focuses on the relationship between religion and morality, arguing that religion can provide a basis for ethical behavior.Overall, Normative Psychology of Religion is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on the psychology of religious experience. Wieman's ideas are likely to be of interest to anyone who is interested in the intersection between psychology and religion, as well as to those who are interested in personal growth and transformation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
