I'm a clinical psychologist, an atheistic Christian, and the girlfriend of Andrew Cone's father. I read Varieties of Religious Experience a few years ago, cold, with no background and got a few interesting ideas but welcome a chance to learn more about what James was trying to do. If I gain some insight into why I find it meaningful to read the Bible, that would be great.

Best, Mary

If you have received this email in error, please immediately notify me by email (by replying to this message) or telephone, and permanently destroy or delete the original and any copies or printouts of this email and any attachments.

It is important that the addressee(s) be aware that email communication can be relatively easily accessed by unauthorized people and hence can compromise the privacy and confidentiality of such communication. Emails, in particular, are vulnerable to such unauthorized access due to the fact that servers have unlimited and direct access to all emails that go through them. A non-encrypted email, such as this, is even more vulnerable to unauthorized access. Please notify me if you decide to avoid or limit, in any way, the use of email. Unless I hear from you otherwise, I will continue to communicate with you via email when necessary or appropriate.
