GOD AND THE BRAIN The Physiology of Spiritual Experience

Using his medical and religious training, Andrew Newberg offers up the brain-based physiological reasons for human spiritual experience. In a forthright and scientific manner, Newberg easily combines biology and religion, submitting his theory on why people have divine experiences and religious beliefs, as well his ideas on what their brains are doing while experiencing spiritual connectedness. Narrating in a humble and gracious tone, Newberg extends an invitation to listeners to evaluate the scientific information he has studied to determine if it makes sense to them, too. The audiobook is separated into three CDs, and each are labeled "sessions." This format makes it easy to pause and contemplate one idea fully before moving on to the next.
