The Psychology of Religion: An Empirical Study of the Growth of Religious Consciousness

The book is in fair condition, with visible wear on the spine and corners. The absence of a dust jacket and the presence of a library stamp indicate its past as a library copy. The binding shows signs of weakness, particularly visible in the interior where the pages are separating slightly from the spine. Despite these flaws, the text remains clear and legible, preserving the work's historical and academic value.

"The Psychology of Religion: An Empirical Study of the Growth of Religious Consciousness" by Edwin Diller Starbuck, Ph.D., is a seminal work published in 1914 by The Walter Scott Publishing Co., Ltd. and Charles Scribner’s Sons. This fourth edition book is a part of the esteemed Contemporary Science Series, edited by Havelock Ellis, and features a preface by the renowned philosopher William James. Starbuck, an assistant professor at Leland Stanford Junior University, offers an in-depth empirical examination of religious consciousness. This edition, published in both London and New York, is notable for its historical significance in the intersection of psychology and religion. The book is an ex-library copy, evidenced by the library stamp, and lacks a dust jacket. The condition reflects its age and use, making it a valuable piece for collectors interested in early psychological studies of religion.
