This volume brings together contributions on faith and meaning-making from across various disciplines into one place. Adherents of the Abrahamic faiths tend to hold that faith is an integral part of their lives. Moreover, it is often considered a life-changing event when a person comes to have religious faith. Alternatively, existential despair and dread are sometimes reported by the person who loses their religious faith. Not only is either type of event a significant moment in a person's life, but how a person's faith (or lack thereof) is lived out throughout the course of their life is also importantly connected to meaning. This volume contains original essays on faith and meaning-making from the perspectives of philosophy, social science, and mental health, and as such constitutes a unique multidisciplinary resource. Religious Faith and Meaning-Making is essential reading for all scholars of religion and especially those focusing on the philosophy, psychology and sociology of religion Kirk Lougheed is Assistant Professor of Philosophy and the Director for the Center for Research on Faith and Human Flourishing at LCC International University. He is also a Research Associate at the University of Pretoria.


Travis Myers is Associate Professor of Humanities and Chair of the Department of Theology at LCC International University.
