Exploring religion as a psychological factor in improving life, this book describes the pervasive and diverse uses of pleasure in religious literature and practice. It argues that in promoting joy and pleasure, religion seeks to strengthen social bonds at the same time that it enhances the individual's pursuit of meaning.
