How Cognition Informs Prayer and Theological Correctness.

      Аннотация: This writing by the author Blaine Hankel seeks to further understand psychologist, Justin Barrett's work in theological correctness. Barrett states that individuals reason and understand God in the Protestant Christian tradition in two separate fashions. One is a slow and reflective thought process that produces theologically correct answers. The second is a quick 'online' thought process that will usually produce a theologically incorrect answer. This evidence states that the human mind intuitively generates theologically incorrect knowledge concerning God. This writing takes several criticisms of Barrett's work and proposes a study to further the cognitive underpinnings within Christianity; with a focus on the act of prayer.
