The Importance of Emotions in Religious Belief

Jared: I grew up charismatic, where the pinnacle of spiritual experience was the emotional experience. And on the other hand, I later on was reformed and in these other camps where emotional expression was like a sign of immaturity. Pete: We've learned through this research that our emotions play apart in our belief. It's similar to the idea of do we believe our way into new ways of acting, or do we act our ways into new way of believing? They are connected, and we have to see it more holistically.
