New Perspectives on Religious and Moral Development.
Hague, William J.
The 10-chapter book presents a holistic approach to teaching religious and moral development emphasizing the essential unity of human nature and the convergence in recent years of religion and the science of psychology. Primarily a two-part psychological study, it discusses the varieties of religious experience and the role of emotion in human development and morality. The chapters include: "What Is Religion?"; "Psychology and Religion--An Historical Overview"; "Religion as Development--the Contributions of Allport, Maslow, Erikson and Fowler"; "Dabrowski and Positive Disintergration Theory"; "What Is Morality?"; "What Does Religion Have to Do with Morality?"; "Theories of Justification"; "Objectivity of Values"; "The Ethics of Aesthetics--The Aesthetics of Ethics"; and "The Ways of Moral Education." An eight-page list of references concludes the document. (TRS)
