Publisher's Synopsis
The Consciousness of Communion with God: A Study in the Psychology of Religion is a book written by Gilbert Lee Pennock and originally published in 1919. The book explores the concept of religious consciousness and how it relates to the idea of communion with God. Pennock delves into the psychological aspects of religion, examining how people experience a sense of connection with the divine and how this experience shapes their beliefs and behaviors.The book is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the nature of religious consciousness and how it is related to other forms of consciousness. The second part explores the different ways in which people experience communion with God, including prayer, meditation, and religious rituals. The third part looks at the psychological effects of religious experience, including its impact on mental health and well-being.Throughout the book, Pennock draws on a wide range of sources, including religious texts, philosophy, and psychology, to explore the nature of religious consciousness and its role in human experience. He argues that the experience of communion with God is a fundamental aspect of human psychology, and that understanding this experience is essential for understanding the human condition.Overall, The Consciousness of Communion with God is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the psychology of religion, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of spirituality and psychology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
