This book addresses the epistemological challenges of defining and conceptualizing religion.

By drawing on contemporary cognitive and evolutionary sciences, the text offers a modern perspective on explaining religion and various religious traditions. Written by Benson Saler of Brandeis University, this work is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the intersection of religion, reason, and science.
