It aims to inform understanding of religion through science. In the past couple of decades, scholars have conceptualized religion as a way of living, rather than merely a belief system or institution. This conception of religion eases its operationalization and fosters its scientific study. For instance, scholars can look at relatively objective practices, such as ritual performance and church attendance, rather than solely rely on subjective report to study religion. A distinction between religion and spirituality has recently grown. However, Pargament contends that the search for the sacred (the divine, truth, reality) is common to both. Moreover, religion and spirituality are not mutually exclusive, but most often coincide. Positive psychology has also facilitated the study of spirituality at the individual level and religious institutions at the group level. However, views on the ability of spirituality and religion to promote positive qualities vary. Please send us a note if you have any questions. Thank you.. Book. Book Condition: Very Good.
