Some
of the main findings of the project will be published in the
Cognitive Science of Religion Series at AltaMira Press (a
division of Rowman and Littlefield). The first volume in the
series, entitled Modes of Religiosity: A Cognitive Theory
of Religious transmission (Harvey Whitehouse), set out
the theory to be tested. The next three volumes present much
of the key evidence and debate arising from the conferences
at Cambridge, Vermont, and Emory Universities, as follows:
Ritual and Memory: Towards a Comparative Anthropology
of Religion (edited by Harvey Whitehouse and James
Laidlaw); Theorizing Religions Past: Archaeology,
History, and Cognition (edited by Harvey Whitehouse and
Luther
H. Martin); Mind and Religion: Psychological and Cognitive
Foundations of Religiosity (edited by Harvey Whitehouse and
Robert
N. McCauley).
Additional
papers presented at the conferences on modes of religiosity,
which will not be appearing in any of the above volumes, will
be published in a series of journal special issues for Historical
Reflections/ Réflexions Historiques (Martin/Whitehouse
eds.) Method & Theory in the Study of Religion
(Martin/Whitehouse eds.) and Journal of Cognition and
Culture (McCauley/Whitehouse eds.).
