Description
The last decade has witnessed a resurgence of interest in the scientific study of religious and spiritual phenomena on the part of researchers in diverse fields. As one would expect, psychology, sociology, and anthropology still play central roles in these studies, but these disciplines are now also supplemented by economics, epidemiology, evolutionary psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and behavioral genetics, among others.
This revival of interest is somewhat unexpected because many of these same social sciences were predicting during most of the twentieth century that religions would gradually diminish and disappear with the spread of science, education, and economic growth. Instead, we have witnessed a global revival of religious movements in many parts of the world, a source of both hope and concern in the twenty-first century.
