The Varieties of Religious Experience weaves together acute observations with simple anecdotes to argue that individual religious experiences, rather than the tenets of organized religion, are what form the backbone of spiritual life. The book explores all sides of religion, from repentance and conversion to mysticism and the value of saintliness. Written with James's characteristic humor and skill, The Varieties of Religious Experience sounds the depths of what he termed 'man's religious appetites.'
