Invitation to the Psychology of Religion

by Raymond F. Paloutzian

This is the only newly revised book on the market to target the mid-level undergraduate student. Providing a well-balanced and thorough look at the psychological literature, this book is meant to be “an invitation to the psychology of religion, not an encyclopedia of it,” and therefore, particular emphasis has been placed on writing style as well as scholarship.

A bit outdated and oversimplified, but an okay, very brief intro to use before moving on to newer, more complex looks at the issues of religion and psychology. (I read the 1983 paperback edition.)
