ნაწყვეტი წიგნიდან:

Mr. Kenneth Giniger some time ago suggested to Dr. Holly Johnson, then President of Blanton-Peale Institute, New York, NY, that Blanton-Peale compile an encyclopedia of psychology and religion, a comprehensive reference work consisting of articles contributed by scholars of importance in the fields of religion, psychology, psychology and religion, and psychology of religion. Dr. Johnson also saw the need for such an information source and began planning work on the project with the assistance of Blanton-Peale colleagues, Dr. Walter Odajnyk and Dr. David A. Leeming. Long working together with Blanton-Peale on behalf of Journal of Religion and Health, Springer Science+Business Media became publisher, with Dr. Leeming, Dr. Kathryn Madden, and Dr. Stanton Marlan named as Editors-in-Chief. Dr. Leeming became Managing Editor of the project. He has taught courses in myth, religion, and literature for many years and has published several books on these subjects, including the Oxford Companion to World Mythology, and until recently was Editor-in-Chief of the award-winning Journal of Religion and Health and Dean of Blanton-Peale’s Graduate Institute. He is currently President of Blanton-Peale Institute. Dr. Madden served as Dean and later President of Blanton-Peale, was Associate Editor and later Executive Editor of the Journal of Religion and Health, and has recently published Dark Light of the Soul (Lindisfarme Books)
