SLONE, D. J., Theological Incorrectness. Why Religious People Believe What They Shouldn't. Oxford University Press, 2004. 168p. Hardback. An exploration of the reasons why religious people often behave in unorthodox, if predictable, ways, Jason Slone's Theological Incorrectness is the latest in a growing number of cognitive studies of religio? and the most accessible to date. The chapters presenting this new approac? which argues that religion is a natural by-product of ordinary cognitio? are exceptionally clear, making the book a welcome choice for use in undergraduate education. And Slone's example? Buddhism, Christianity, and the perseverance of luck in religious practice? convincingly demonstrate its value not only to those encountering it for the first time but to established scholars of religious studies as well.
