"Feeling Religion is an excellent response to a need over the past centuries for a thorough and scholarly investigation of the relationship between emotion and religion. . . . This superbly edited work has done more than provide incisive scholarly knowledge about emotion in religion." - John-Okoria Ibhakewanlan (Theological Studies)
