520    Religion is often cast in opposition to science. Yet both 
       are deeply rooted in the inner workings of the human 
       brain. With the advent of the modern cognitive 
       neurosciences, the scientific study of religious and 
       spiritual phenomena has become far more sophisticated and 
       wide-ranging. What might brain scans of people in prayer, 
       in meditation, or under the influence of psychoactive 
       substances, for instance, show us about religious and 
       spiritual beliefs? Are religious and spiritual phenomena 
       reducible to brain processes? Or might there be aspects of
       religion and spirituality that, at least for now, appear 
       to transcend scientific claims?In this book, Andrew 
       Newberg explores the latest findings of neurotheology, the
       multidisciplinary field linking neuroscience with 
       religious and spiritual phenomena. He investigates some of
       the most controversial-and potentially transformative-
       implications of a neurotheological approach for the truth 
       claims of religion and our understanding of minds and 
       brains. Newberg leads readers on a tour through key 
       intersections of neuroscience and theology, including the 
       potential evolutionary basis of religion; the psychology 
       of religion, including mental-health and brain pathology; 
       the neuroscience of myths, rituals, and mystical 
       experiences; how studies of altered states of 
       consciousness shed new light on the mind-brain 
       relationship; what neurotheology can tell us about free 
       will; and the limitations of what science can say about 
       our religious and spiritual experience of reality. When 
       brain science and religious experience are considered 
       together in an integrated approach, Newberg shows, we 
       might come closer to a fuller understanding of the deepest
       questions.
