Sommario/riassunto

What, if anything, is religious or spiritual delusion? What does religious delusion reveal about the difference between good and bad spirituality? 'The Abraham Dilemma' is the first book written by a philosopher on the topic of religious delusion - on the disorder's causes, contents, consequences, diagnosis and treatment.
