Synopsis

The Psychology Of Religious Sects: A Comparison Of Types is a book written by Henry Clay McComas in 1912. The book explores the psychology behind different religious sects and compares them to one another. McComas examines the beliefs, practices, and behaviors of various religious groups, including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. He discusses the origins of these religions and how their teachings have evolved over time. McComas also delves into the psychological motivations behind why people join and remain a part of different religious sects. He considers factors such as social influence, personality traits, and emotional needs. The book is a fascinating exploration of the intersection of psychology and religion, and it provides insights into the beliefs and behaviors of people from different faiths.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This little volume is an outgrowth of two very different kinds of experience, a number of years in church work and a number of years in a psychological laboratory. The church work covered very dissimilar fields: slums on the east side of New York, a fashionable church on the west side, home-mission churches, churches north, south and west. In this religious work practical success depended upon the ability to interpret human nature. A working basis for classifying different religious types grew up unconsciously. Some people must be reached in one way, some in another. A successful worker bases his efforts upon a successful classification of religious types. A few years in the psychological laboratory brought out a supplementary truth. No two persons are exactly alike in their intellectual and emotional natures. The laboratory has many ways of measuring individual differences. One of the most fruitful branches of Psychology to-day is the study of Individual Differences. These are found in A ttention, A ssociation, Memory, I magination, and, indeed, in every factor entering into human nature. The grouping of these differences into types has not yet been accomplished but promises to be one of the achievements of the future.
