Ames, who was the Professor of Philosophy in the University of Chicago, writes in his preface that this book endeavors to present certain aspects of religion as they appear in the light of its history and of social psychology. Religion is here viewed as a natural, social, cultural process. The doctrines, which have often been regarded as the essence of religion, are seen to have ultimate relation to the religious activities, being at once deposits or products and also instruments of such activities. Religion arises as a phase or quality of the complex life of the human spirit in its idealistic outreach, and is continually subject to restatement under the influence of the flowing stream of that life.

The Psychology of Religious Experience is a book written by Edward Scribner Ames that delves into the psychological aspects of religious experiences. The book explores the different types of religious experiences that people have, including mystical experiences, conversion experiences, and religious visions. It also discusses the psychological factors that contribute to these experiences, such as personality traits, emotional states, and cognitive processes. Throughout the book, Ames draws on a range of psychological theories and research to provide a comprehensive understanding of the psychology of religious experience. The book is aimed at anyone interested in the intersection of psychology and religion, including scholars, students, and practitioners in both fields.1910. Ames, who was the Professor of Philosophy in the University of Chicago writes that this work undertakes an investigation of the religious aspect of normal human experience. The point of view employed is that of functional psychology, which is necessarily genetic and social. The method adopted involves the use of much material from anthropology, the history of religion, and other social sciences, but an attempt has been made to organize this material and interpret it from the psychological standpoint. The hypothesis that religion is the consciousness of the highest social values arose from studies in these fields, and this conception has been strengthened by further investigations. These highest social values appear to embody more or less idealized expressions of the most elemental and urgent life impulses. Religion expresses the desire to obtain life and obtain it abundantly. In all stages the demand is for daily bread and for companionship and achievement in family and community relationships. Ames divides the Contents into four parts including: History and Method of the Psychology of Religion; The Origin of Religion in the Race; The Race of Religion in the Individual; and The Place of Religion in the Experience of the Individual and Society.
