Invitation to the Psychology of Religion by Raymond F Paloutzian
This newly revised text is the only book on the market to target the mid-level undergraduate student. Providing a well-balanced and thorough look at the psychological literature, this book is meant to be ``an invitation to the psychology of religion, not an encyclopedia of it,'' and therefore, particular emphasis has been placed on writing style as well as scholarship. With ten chapters, the book is long enough to serve as the sole text for a course, yet short enough to allow professors to supplement it with other paperback books and articles of their own choice. This book does not favor any particular point of view, but rather presents equally the many lines of research in this area. The tone is objective, clear, and easy to follow.
