About the Book

This book considers whether recent theories from Cognitive Science of Religion (CSR) undermine the epistemic status of religious belief. After introducing the key theories in the growing area of CSR, Hans Van Eyghen explores some of the epistemic questions surrounding CSR, including: Is CSR incompatible with the truth of religious belief? How might CSR show that religious belief is unreliably formed? And, finally, does CSR undermine the justification of religious belief by religious experiences? In addressing these questions, he demonstrates how CSR does not undermine the epistemic bases for religious belief. This book offers a clear and concise overview of the current state of cognitive science of religion and will be of particular interest to scholars working in philosophy and epistemology of religion.

Review :
Does scientifically explaining religious thoughts mean those thoughts are non-rational? Van Eyghen resists any simplistic conclusions when considering new findings and theories coming from cognitive and evolutionary studies of religion. His analysis provides a great service to the growing number of thinkers interested in the theological and philosophical implications of the scientific study of religion. Offers a thorough and in-depth discussion of the most prominent theories in the cognitive science of religion, and a careful assessment of the philosophical implications of these theories for warranted theistic belief. Whether you agree with the conclusions or not, this book provides a compelling read and lots of food for thought and further discussion.
