Excerpt from The Natural History of Religious Feeling: A Question of Miracles in the Soul
The deductions made from this assumption are of the gravest import. It is alleged, or im plied, that those who have had the experience of conversion are the chosen of God, that they are so changed in nature as to have become new crea tures, are the children of God, and are destined to an eternity of blessedness; while those who have not had the experience are the rejected of God, are children of Satan, and are destined to an eternity of woe. Consequences so momentous would naturally give pause to a person of proper sensibility, before adopting the premises from which they are drawn.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, written by an expert in the field of religious studies, is a scholarly work that delves into the complex and fascinating relationship between human emotion and religious belief. The author presents a comprehensive examination of the various religious experiences, both natural and supernatural, that humans have reported throughout history. The book is divided into four main parts. The first part explores the natural causes behind religious feelings, such as tropisms and instincts. The second part examines the religious ecstasy, which is a state of heightened emotion often associated with religious experiences. The third part focuses on conversion, a sudden and profound change in one's religious beliefs. The final part discusses the practical consequences of these religious experiences, such as the formation of religious communities and the development of religious doctrines. One of the key themes in this book is the idea that religious experiences are not always the result of supernatural intervention. The author argues that many of the experiences that people attribute to divine inspiration can actually be explained by natural causes. This is a controversial idea, but one that is supported by a wealth of evidence. This book is a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in religious experience. It offers a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of this complex phenomenon, and it challenges many of the traditional assumptions about the role of supernatural forces in religion.
