A Sociable God: Toward a New Understanding of Religion

Description

One of the first attempts to bring a transpersonal dimension to sociology, this scholarly book introduces a system of reliable methods by which to make testable judgments of the authenticity of any religious movement. Written, as the author describes, in "one fevered weekend," it is a concise work based on Wilber's "spectrum of consciousness" theory, which views individual and cultural development as an evolutionary continuum.

Ken Wilber is the author of over twenty books. He is the founder of Integral Institute, a think-tank for studying integral theory and practice, with outreach through local and online communities such as Integral Education Network, Integral Training, and Integral Spiritual Center.

"A Sociable God is a thought-provoking book that has the potential to stimulate intense discussion about Wilber's theory and transpersonal psychology in general."-Contemporary Psychology: American Psychological Association Review of Books "A concise, scholarly work."-Branches of Light "I use Ken Wilber's approach all the time. I think it's the best map of reality we have."-Father Thomas Keating, author of Open Mind, Open Heart
