520 _aThis response to the new challenge of neuroscience to religion takes account of eastern as well as western forms of religious experience. Hick challenges the prevailing naturalistic assumption of our culture, including the idea that the mind is either identical with or a temporary by-product of brain activity. It also discusses religion as institutions and religion as inner experience of the Transcendent, and suggests a form of spirituality for today. From publisher description
