Chantilly, VA : Teaching Co., ©2012.

4 videodiscs (12 hr.) : sound, color ; 4 3/4 in. + 1 course guidebook (vi, 180 pages : illustrations ; 19 cm).

Dr. Andrew Newberg offers you 24 riveting lectures that explore the new and exciting field of neurotheology, a discipline aimed at understanding the connections between our brains and different kinds of religious phenomena. Using an academic, experimental approach into what he calls "objective measures of spirituality," Dr. Newberg attempts to explain what others have previously only guessed at: the neuroscientific basis for why religion and spirituality have played such a prominent role in human life. --Provided by publisher.
