A Most Accursed Religion: when a Trauma Becomes God
Greg Mogenson
Despite its title, this book is not about theology. When a psychologist writes of God, he must do so within the confines of his own field of inquiry, the psyche. Mogenson's aim is to focus attention on the religious dimension of the psychology of those overwhelming events we describe as traumatic. Whether a divine being really exists or not, the psychological fact remains that we tend to experience traumatic events as if they were in some sense divine.
