Books by Fraser Watts

This book provides a comprehensive, state-of-the art assessment of what psychology says about religion and spirituality. It includes different branches of psychology and aspects of religion, and covers key concepts and practical applications. It is suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduates, and those training for religious ministry.

Presents a celebration, survey and critique of the theological work of arguably the most important and most widely-read contributor to the modern dialogue between science and theology: John Polkinghorne. Including a major survey by Polkinghorne himself of his life's work in theology, this book focuses on key aspects of Polkinghorne's work.

The book seeks to describe the psychological processes that are involved in arriving at religious knowledge. It is argued that the ways in which people come to know other things, in particular how people arrive at personal insights, is close at many points to how they arrive at religious insights.
