Reviews

As Abraham raises his arm to slay Isaac, is he a faithful servant of God or someone under the sway of a powerful delusion? Graham, a philosophy professor at Georgia State, uses the disquieting biblical story as a touchstone in this elegant consideration of the line between healthy and unhealthy forms of religiosity. Brandeis Magazine I think the book is an excellent addition to the literature of delusions, and also psychiatry and spirituality. I highly recommend it. Dr Abdi Sanati, Consultant Psychiatrist, Philosophy of Psychiatry Newsletter, No. 41


[a]n excellent addition to the literature of delusions, and also psychiatry and spirituality. - the Royal College of Psychiatrists
