{"product_id":"the-religious-life-donald-capps-9781498219945","title":"The Religious Life","description":"William James called his classic work, The Varieties of Religious Experience, \"a study in human nature.\" This volume recognizes that a fundamental feature of human nature for James is that we have a conscious and a subconscious mind and that the subconscious mind is deeply implicated in the religious life, especially in conversion and other experiences of spiritual enlightenment. In this volume, Capps addresses religious melancholy, the divided self and discordant personality, religious conversion, the saintly character, and the prayerful consciousness. In addition, the cases of two clergymen--one deeply troubled, the other exemplary of the spiritual person--are also presented. A brief discussion of James's view of religion as the generator of hope concludes this introduction to his insights into the religious life. Given that James was a popular writer in his own day, this book is intended to make his insights accessible to general readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald Capps\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1498219942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498219945\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cascade Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Donald Capps","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936429408511,"sku":"9781498219945","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e15cda0a-db3c-4918-83c3-b550f1558cf8.jpg?v=1681425507","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-religious-life-donald-capps-9781498219945","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
