This volume brings together contributions on faith and meaning-making from across various disciplines into one place. Adherents of the Abrahamic faiths tend to hold that faith is an integral part of their lives. Moreover, it is often considered a life-changing event when a person comes to have religious faith. Alternatively, existential despair and dread are sometimes reported by the person who loses their religious faith. Not only is either type of event a significant moment in a person's life, but how a person's faith (or lack thereof) is lived out throughout the course of their life is also importantly connected to meaning.
This volume contains original essays on faith and meaning-making from the perspectives of philosophy, social science, and mental health, and as such constitutes a unique multidisciplinary resource. Religious Faith and Meaning-Making is essential reading for all scholars of religion and especially those focusing on the philosophy, psychology and sociology of religion.
