This work explores the complex relationship between religion and sexuality, particularly through the lens of psychology and pathology, addressing how various mental states influence religious beliefs and practices. Cohen aims to highlight the less-explored aspects of religious phenomena, particularly how abnormal psychological conditions may inform and perpetuate religious experiences. At the start of the book, Cohen sets the stage for a detailed examination of the intersection between religion and psychological health, asserting that significant insights can be gained by studying religious beliefs alongside psychological principles. He critiques traditional views that regard religion as a purely spiritual phenomenon by proposing instead that many religious experiences may stem from psychological or pathological conditions. He draws upon examples from various cultures, asserting that throughout history, abnormal mental states have often been interpreted as divine encounters. This initial exploration establishes a foundation for further discussion on how such states have shaped religious consciousness and belief systems across different societies.
