The phenomena of faith, belief and believing have fascinated science and philosophy since ancient times, and they still fascinate them today.
The credition issue in the context of faith and belief research
The study of creditions is situated in the broader scientific context of faith and belief research. It shows how much social, religious, political and economic circumstances are influenced by belief. It also reveals the extent to which believing is interwoven with our thinking, perception and cognition. This page of the Credition website presents publications from various disciplines that have emerged in this broader context.
