William James (1842–1910) was an American psychologist and philosopher and one of the most popular thinkers of the nineteenth century. He is the author of many works, including his monumental The Principles of Psychology (1890), Human Immortality (1898), and The Varieties of Religious Experience: A Study in Human Nature (1902).
Gordon W. Allport (1897–1967) was one of the first psychologists to study personality, and also researched human attitudes, prejudices, and religious beliefs. He is the author of Personality (1937), The Individual and His Religion (1950), and The Nature of Prejudice (1954).
"The re-publication of James's work written in 1892 is a testimony
to his monumental importance in the field of psychology. The work,
a brief of his larger work, Principles of Psychology, illustrates
to the modern mind how far we have come in returning to some of
James's insights." —Studies in Formative Spirituality
"This book . . . was originally published in 1892 by Holt and
republished by Harper in 1961. A durable classic in the field, it
is developed on the structure of seventeen definitive chapters
treating cryptic themes such as Habit, Stream of Consciousness, The
Self, Attention, Conception, Discrimination, Association, Memory,
Imagination, Perception, Reasoning, Emotion, Instinct, Will, and
the like. . . . Today . . . it is still eminently readable
scholarship." —Journal of Psychology and Christianity
