It provides a fascinating overview of the cognitive science of religion (CSR) -- an interdisciplinary field applying methods from cognitive and evolutionary sciences to the study of religious belief and behavior -- and how some of the lessons from this field bear on philosophy of religion. … An engaging volume. -- Justin Sytsma, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand * Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *\u003cbr\u003e[This is] a collection that both offers philosophers access to a wealth of scientific information, and sketches novel, interdisciplinary approaches to longstanding philosophical problems concerning religious belief. Anyone not acquainted with philosophically relevant studies of religious belief in cognitive science and psychology will learn a great deal from this book, as will those unfamiliar with recent and promising applications of experimental philosophy to the study of religion. [...] This collection is important for the developing fields of CSR and experimental philosophy of religion. I hope that it is read, discussed, and encourages philosophers to further engage with empirical data when considering traditional problems in the philosophy of religion. * International Journal for Philosophy of Religion *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
