Christopher G. White looks in particular at how a group of liberal believers-including William James and G. Stanley Hall-turned away from traditional Christian orthodoxies and built a revised religious identity based on new psychological motifs and therapies. Unsettled Minds is the first book to explain the dramatic rise of new spiritualities of the mind, spiritualities that, by the early twenty-first century, were turning eagerly to scientific and clinical psychological studies to reimagine religion and the problems of religious uncertainty. 606 $aPsychology, Religious$zUnited States 606 $aPsychology and religion$zUnited States 606 $aChristianity$xPsychology 606 $aLiberalism (Religion)$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xReligion 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPsychology, Religious 615 0$aPsychology and religion 615 0$aChristianity$xPsychology. 615 0$aLiberalism (Religion) 676 $a201/.6150973 700 $aWhite$b Christopher G.$f1969-$01045109 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462135503321 996 $aUnsettled minds$92471116 997 $aUNINA
