When faced with a crisis, why do some people turn to religion to help them cope, while others turn away? Is religious belief merely a defence or a form of denial? Is religion a help or a hinderance in times of stress? Bridging a gap between the two different subject fields of psychology and religion, this volume interweaves theory with first-hand accounts, clinical insight, and empirical research.
