Abstract
This study was an analysis of a number of courses in the psychology of religion. It was designed to obtain a description of curriculum aspects such as: what texts are being used, what topics are being presented, whom the class is attracting, and how the class is being evaluated. Analysis suggests that this is not a core course in the field of psychology and seems to be offered based on the interest of the professor, the philosophy of the department, and interest of students in this academic area. Since it is not a core course there seems to be a diversity in the content of this class. This can be seen in the large number of texts and readings that are used in teaching this course. The question is raised that if psychology as a discipline claims to study behavior, why is the affect of religion not addressed more in both core classes and the offering of psychology of religion classes?
