The New Psychology of Religion

The New Psychology of Religion studies how people's beliefs, experiences, and practices related to faith influence their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Unlike traditional views that focus only on religious doctrines, this approach examines spirituality as a personal and psychological experience, exploring how religion provides meaning, comfort, and community. It considers diverse perspectives and recognizes that spirituality can be expressed in many ways beyond formal religion. Ultimately, it seeks to understand the role of spirituality in everyday life and how it helps individuals cope with challenges, find purpose, and connect with others.
