| adam_text | Language and Religion offers an innovative theory of religion as
a class of cultural representations, dependent on language to unify
diverse capacities of the human mind. It argues that religion is
widespread because it is implicit in the way the mind processes
the world, as it determines what we ought to do, practically and
morally, to achieve our goals. Focusing on the world religions,
the book relates modern cognitive theories of language and
communication to culture and its dissemination. It explains
basic features of religion such as the supernatural, the normative,
abstract and ideal theological concepts such as God , and religious
feeling. It develops a linguistic theory, based on how utterances
are understood, of metaphysical and moral mysteries and their
key role in thought and action. It shows how such concepts gain
strength in the light of their successful use, and, when tempered by
criticism, can also have genuine authority.
