Why read it?

1 author picked Emotional Experience and Religious Understanding as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Perceiving some fact about the world seems at first to be quite distinct from the way we feel about it, but Mark Wynn’s careful arguments show how, in our grasp of reality, emotion and perception are intimately intertwined. I found his conclusions shed a vivid light on the complex nature of religious belief and religious experience. 

From John's list on the human search for meaning.
