What biological mechanisms are involved in mystical states and trances? Is there a neurological basis for patterns in comparative religions? Does religion have an evolutionary function? This pathbreaking work by two leading medical researchers explores the neurophysiology of religious experience. Building on an explanation of the basic structure of the brain, the authors focus on parts most relevant to human experience, emotion, and cognition. On this basis, they plot how the brain is involved in mystical experiences. Successive chapters apply this scheme to mythmaking, ritual and liturgy, meditation, near-death experiences, and theology itself. Anchored in such research, the authors also sketch the implications of their work for philosophy, science, theology, and the future of religion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eugene D'Aquili\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0800631633\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780800631635\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Augsburg Fortress Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.00w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Outstanding Books in Theology and the Natural Sciences - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/17\/1999 pg. 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Century\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/08\/2000 pg. 1159","brand":"Eugene D'Aquili","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926094610687,"sku":"9780800631635","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3e0fcac1-ff74-4b4e-8d4a-a3478eaed83d.jpg?v=1681081166","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mystical-mind-eugene-daquili-9780800631635","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
