The Varieties of Religious Experience

The Best Nonfiction Masterpiece of the 20th Century? The Varieties of Religious Experience, A Study in Human Nature is not a book about a specific religion. The author, psychologist Williams James does not try to convince the reader one religion is better than the other. He doesn't even make a case for atheism and the scientific approach. The book is in fact about human nature and how we experience religion at a psychological level.
