Zusammenfassung: | Jacob Belzen spends the first two-thirds of his 2010 book doing two things: (1) developing a cogent critique of the presuppositions that underlie mainstream psychology, especially as regards the study of religion, and (2) promoting greater use of what he calls a 'cultural psychology.' The last third presents a number of religious case studies, all from the Netherlands, that demonstrate the value of cultural psychology. Although Belzen emphasizes 'embodiment' in these studies, his results suggest that religion is often a 'performance' for particular audiences. Finally, the applicability of Belzen's approach to religions outside the Western tradition is discussed. |
