On recovering from this illness, he returned to England rejuvenated by his trip and eager for some pending ecclesiastical project. Immediately on his return t…

Erikson's Theory of Religious Ritual: The Case of the Excommunication of Ann Hibbens
Religious ritual is a woefully neglected area of research in the psychology of religion. The major theorists (Freud and James) considered ritual an inferior form of religious expression. However, theoretical grounds for a more positive view of religious ritual exist. Erik H. Erikson's theory sees ritual as a form of religious activity that is inherently adaptive. This study applies Erikson's theory of ritual to the excommunication proceedings car…

Parabolic Events in Augustine's Autobiography
“Augustine was middle-aged when he wrote the Confessions. While memoirs, usually written in old age, address the question, ‘What has become of me?,’ autobiography, usually written in mid-career, asks the question, ‘What is becoming of me?’... Why does Augustine reproach himself so severely? ... While Adam sought to hide his shame from God, Augustine dares to reveal his shame through his Confessions because he perceives that, through such self-dis…
