Book excerpt: Excerpt from Psychology of the Religious Life In the religious life there is an inherent struggle. The presence Of the Supremely Impressive makes the self and other men and all the common goods Of life Objects at once Of value and contempt. Reverence calls forth both hope and fear, both rejoicing and dejection. And yet men naturally see this conﬂict, not as wholly in themselves, but at least in part as without the parts and powers Of the world appear to be in mutual strife. There is, however, in peoples and religions a differing sense Of this discord. The Greek pictured the world, somewhat as he built his temple, with a certain Simple grace; while the Germanic mind, like the Gothic vault with its impenetrable shadows, saw the gloom and the evil close to what is fair. Every people and every person in varying degree reveals a peculiar feeling Of the tension Of the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Psychology and the Christian Life This book is intended to be simply an introduction to the study of psychology in its application to the Christian way of life. Each chapter touches upon subjects which deserve a volume to themselves. Chapter I is the barest skeleton of general psychology, admittedly only just sufficient to give to the beginner an idea of its method and of some of its principles. Chapter II does no more than open the door to the possibilities of psychology applied outside religion. In Chapter III I have omitted the deliberate criticism which the teaching of the New Nancy School might seem to require before it was applied to Christian teaching on Faith. Nor in this chapter is the psychology of Faith considered except in one limited aspect. Throughout the constant references made in Chapters IV and V to the new psychology and psycho-analysis I have intentionally refrained from attempting to divide and further define the "sub-conscious," and from using such words as "sublimate" or "complex."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spiritual Life: Studies in the Science of Religion This question is already being raised, and it is bound to be asked more and more often and in louder and louder tones. It is no Sign of enmity toward the Church or of coldness toward Christianity, but rather an incident of the expanding spirituality of men who find in Jesus the final meaning of life, and in evan gelical Christianity the essential germ of future te ligious progress. This germ demands to be under stood. It is necessary to perceive that the problems here suggested do not concern matters of mere tem porary expediency. They go to the bottom of life they concern the very essence of religion, of reli gious forces, and of the mind in which religion lives and through which it works for the healing of the nations. If this be true there is not a ray of reasonable hope for the solution of these prob lems unless in some way - either by a happy hit of uninstructed zeal or else by definite knowledge of the psychical factors involved - we manage to put ourselves into line with the mind of man as it is.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Psychology of Prayer Religion, whatever else it may signify, belongs to the social aspects of our experience. It is relation to some other. It matters not that the other is not seen. The man of faith lives as seeing him who is invisible. He finds terms for this other in lan guage borrowed largely from human society. God is Father, Lord, King, Redeemer, Friend, the Great Companion. As implying social relation religion belongs therefore with other parts of life which in volve this adjustment to others, this union with others, to produce and become what would be impos sible for any one by himself alone. Whatever we may think of religious experience, it takes its place in human life and human history along with science, morality, and art, as a sphere in which man has developed a personality, a self, of peculiar range and quality. These aspects of human life as being in them selves most significant have repeatedly invited at tention. The eighteenth century made brilliant in vestigations in this field. The nineteenth century turned its interest largely to chemical and biological problems, and we reap the results in our industries, and in our control over disease. In its closing dec ades, a measure of scientific activity was directed upon the mental life, attacking at first chieﬂy the simple problems which could be studied in labora tories. But now with some of these more elementary problems on the way toward solution, interest is naturally turning again to what is after all of deep est interest - the world of personal relations. We have as yet scarcely made a beginning in applying to the more complex and more vitally important fields of life the scientific spirit and method which have disclosed new meaning and value in the world of nature. We are seeking to understand more fully what mind and Spirit mean in those capacities and activities due to social forces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religion and the New Psychology: A Psycho-Analytic Study of Religion None of the works on this subject, with the exception of Pfister's, and that but fugitively and brieﬂy, deals with religious problems. This book aims to be a comprehensive treatment of the religious problem in its various phases, the varied phenomena of religion, and various nor mal and abnormal religious types, together with certain suggestions for a new and different kind of education, from the Viewpoint of the new psychology. Readers of William James' Va rieties of Religious Experience will already be familiar with mysticism, the phenomena of re ligious conversion, and kindred movements and phenomena of the religious life. These things are not new, but recent exploration of the Un conscious as a determinant of behavior and a potent factor in every thought and act Of daily life, has added considerably to our knowledge of the buried self, and thrown much new light upon the problem of the motivation of human life, even as the hand of the archeologist reveals the structures of a city long-buried beneath vol canic ashes and lava.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Psychology of Religion: An Empirical Study of the Growth of Religious Consciousness Nor do we limit our generalisation to the facts of the physical world, but assume that in the mental life also there are laws as dominant and unchange able, although these are of different character and are peculiar to their own sphere. It has been one of the greatest triumphs of modern times to bring under investigation by empirical methods the processes of human consciousness. The student in the psycho logical laboratory meets with as great orderliness and sequence among the facts of emotion or memory or reasoning as the physicist in his laboratory. Even the various types of insanity are usually traceable to natural causes, and recognisable as the result of exaggerated elements in the interplay of psychic forces, and not as manifestations of demoniacal possession, as was once commonly believed. It is scarcely questioned at the present time that all our mental processes follow an orderly sequence. We go one step further, and affirm that there is no event in the spiritual life which does not occur in accordance with immutable laws. The study of religion is to-day where astronomy and chemistry were four centuries ago. The world has been taken away from the oracle, alchemist, astrologer and petty gods, and given over to the control of law. Another four hundred years may restore to law the soul of man, with all its hopes, aspirations and yearnings.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Psychological Aspects of Christian Experience Continued observation of the various methods of religious instruction has brought upon me a conviction that grows stronger as the years go by, that there must be, as Francis Peabody says, a new expansion of the range of studies appropri ate to the teachers of religion. There ought to be a far deeper study of the psychology of reli gion. The appeal to the impulses and emotions, so prevalent in the methods of some teachers, is far behind twentieth century enlightenment. It was foreign to the methods of our Saviour. He taught men. He did not frighten them into ao tion, neither entice them. He instructed their minds in truth. Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. While religious teaching addressed to the head alone may not reach any deeper, the proper inlet by which the truth may reach the soul is the intellect and not the impulses. This brief essay will but sketch some of the mental experiences of religious life, sufficiently, it is hoped, to arouse a desire for further study and deeper investigation of the subject.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religious Consciousness: A Psychological Study I have also sought to cover the field with a fair degree of adequacy; to do justice by both religion and science; to hold the scales even between the individual and society (no easy matter in these days); and to make my book of value and (if possible) of interest to both the general reader and the technical student. I am, of course, painfully aware of the fact that in many ways I have fallen short of my aims. It is now over twelve years ago that I began writing the book; and in that length of time so many changes come over one's evaluations and one's style that in looking through the completed volume I can plainly see (though I hope the reader will not) several distinct strata of thought and language superimposed upon each other.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Psychology At not a few points I have felt how much better the work might have been done by a psychologist intensely interested in religion than by a theologian intensely interested in psychology. But in all attempts to bring together different domains of knowledge there must be more or less of such onesidedness; and I hope I have not made many serious mistakes. At all events my psychology has not been got up for the occasion and, though there are multitudes of books on Psychology which I should like to have read but have not been able, I believe I have read the best. In the notes will be found the names of the authors to whom I am most indebted; and I here acknowledge with gratitude that there is hardly a page that does not betray the in uence of Sir William Hamilton and Professor James.

Her writings on religion were famous in her day and still resonate right up to the present. This book was drawn and expanded from some talks Underhill gave in Oxford, in which she attempted to link psychology and spirituality. She also discusses the place of institutional religion and of spirituality in the context of wider society. As elsewhere in her writings she emphasises the wonder of incarnation and life. The Life of the Spirit and the Life of Today is certainly recommended for fans of Underhill, but any religious individual will find resonance in her writing and should certainly take the time to explore why she was so influential.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life: A Study in Religious Sociology In reality, then, there are no religions which are false. All are true in their own fashion all answer, though in different ways, to the given conditions of human existence. It is undeniably possible to arrange them in a hierarchy. Some can be called superior to others, in the sense that they call into play higher mental functions, that they are richer in ideas and sentiments, that they contain more concepts with fewer sensations and images, and that their arrangement is wiser. But howsoever real this greater complexity and this higher ideality may be, they are not sufficient to place the corresponding religions in different classes. All are religions equally, just as all living beings are equally alive, from the most humble plastids up to man. So when we turn to primitive religions it is not with the idea of depreciating. Religion in general, for these religions are no less respectable than the others. They respond to the same needs, they play the same role, they depend upon the same causes; they can also well serve_ to show the nature of the religious life, and consequently to resolve the problem which we wish to study.
