Here you will find books that have been published in the context of credition research
The book was published in 2022 as the first German-language monograph on the subject. It has three parts:
1. Faith/belief - an ill-defined phenomenon,
2. From faith/belief to believing process,
3. Processes of believing as inner processes.
The first part examines traditional aspects of the topic of faith and belief in religion and philosophy.
The second part traces a profound paradigm shift. It describes the path from a traditional, rather static and content-based understanding of faith/belief to a view in which faith/belief is understood as processual-fluid. This is a basic prerequisite for faith/belief to remain alive over the span of a lifetime.
In the third part, cognitive and neuroscientific findings are presented. They allow us to relate the traditional topic of faith to today's cognitive science.
