Trade Review
"What would a history of American religion look like if it were grounded in a shared human biology, in the genetics, hormones, sexual organs, bilateral structures, and sensorium of the human body? That is precisely what Robert C. Fuller gives us in The Body of Faith. I was deeply inspired and moved by it." (Jeffrey J. Kripal, author of Authors of the Impossible: The Paranormal and the Sacred)"
