Faber's contribution to the emerging field of "neurotheology" explores what the growth and structure of the mind-brain might have to do with people's belief in a deity, in angels, or in the supernatural generally. Faber (emeritus, literature and psychology, U. of Victoria, BC, Canada) focuses on the first years of life, on the parent-child relationship, and in particular on how that relationship is internalized to influence later behavior, including religious beliefs and motivations. His analysis cites the work of William James, William Wordsworth, Robert Browning, and Carl Jung as well as studies from the field of developmental psychology.
