Description

The "New York Times" bestseller that explores the startling discoveries that science is making about faith.
Is spiritual experience real? Or is it a delusion? When we pray, what happens? Can science explain God? In "Fingerprints of God," National Public Radio religion correspondent Barbara Bradley Hagerty attempts to answer these and other vexing questions about the science of spiritual experience. Along the way she tells the story of her own intriguing spiritual evolution, delves into the discoveries science is making about how faith affects our brains and explores what near-death experiences reveal about the afterlife. The result is a rich and insightful examination of what science is learning about how and why we believe.
