Recenzii
"Why Does Spirituality Persist? is a carefully researched compendium that is an important contribution to the professional literature on religion and spirituality. A broad spectrum of readers will find it illuminating and sometimes challenging, while therapists and those engaged in spiritual counseling will find it clinically useful in understanding the religious and spiritual concerns of those seeking their help."
Len Sperry, MD, PhD, author of Spirituality in Clinical Practice, 2nd ed
"Dr. Di Pietro explores the reasons spirituality and religion persist and the importance of religious beliefs to those who hold them. His book comes at a critical time for those of us trying to understand and make sense of each other in an increasingly polarized world. His book is insightful, rooted in empirical data, and infused with his unique and optimistic perspective."
Eileen Merges, PhD, associate professor of psychology at St. John Fisher College
"Dr. Di Pietro’s latest academic accomplishment takes on the differences and similarities between ‘spirituality’ and ‘religion’ with a noticeable diligence not to offend readers who may or may not align with either persuasion. Approximately 30% of Americans are currently using the phrase ‘spiritual but not religious’ to describe themselves—an increase of almost eight percent in a recent five-year span. What exactly is the difference and what led to the swift embrace of this nondescriptive term? Dr. Di Pietro meticulously explores the diverse fundamental and practical purposes religion has provided humankind since the dawn of history, while simultaneously exploring the relationship between emerging lifestyle convictions and the burgeoning embrace of the term ‘spirituality.’"
