Religion in the making

Book • 1926
This book, originating from four lectures delivered in King's Chapel, Boston, in February 1926, examines the relationship between human nature and religion.

Whitehead rejects dogma and explores the connection between religious transformation and the transformation of knowledge.

He encourages readers to develop a conception of faith that is compatible with the changing nature of experience.

The book analyzes the emergence of religion through stages such as ritual, emotion, belief, and rationalization, and it discusses the contribution of religious knowledge to metaphysics.

Whitehead also critiques traditional religious dogma and advocates for a more dynamic and adaptive understanding of faith.
