Pratt, James Bissett. Psychology of religious belief. **$1.50. Macmillan.

7–4164.

A discussion which is more concerned with the modest and concrete problem of the nature of belief in a God or gods and the basis or bases on which this belief really rests than with the nature or the definition of religion. The author aims to break ground in a rich but neglected field.

“The book will repay study. We must, however. submit that Professor Pratt’s definition of intellectual belief stands in need of modification.”
