The Psychology of Mystical Experience
I have, through all my life, really been a disciple of william james. He wrote a book called the varieties of religious experience. I was always fascinated by his approach to this problem. It involved a way in which we might understand the dynamics of various different accounts of people's visions of god. Sometimes these visions might sound very different.
