Do we need to restart the psychology of religion? Commentary on Belzen (2010)

What Jacob Belzen is offering us here is a manifesto for a cultural psychology of religion. This is first an academic exposition, which includes an impressive literature review, a thorough-going critique, and the offer of a new solution for what ails the psychology of religion today. My points of agreement and disagreement with Belzen will be discussed below. Naturally, more space will be devoted to the latter, where more discussion is needed.
