  • The Psychology of the Bible

    Explaining Divine Voices and Visions
    (Author)

    The Psychology of the Bible explores how the Old Testament provides perspective into the tumultuous transition from an earlier mentality to a new paradigm of interiorized psychology and introspective religiosity that came to characterize the first millennium BCE.

  • The 'Other' Psychology of Julian Jaynes

    Ancient Languages, Sacred Visions, and Forgotten Mentalities
    (Author)

    Brian J. McVeigh, a student of Jaynes, points out the blind spots of mainstream, establishment psychology by providing empirical support for Jaynes's ideas on sociohistorical shifts in cognition. He argues that from around 3500 to 1000 BCE the archaeological and historical record reveals features of hallucinatory super-religiosity.
