religious delusions as a search for meaning. This book explores how a religious delusion can be
acknowledged as a religious experience. In addition, the book presents a detailed case-study of the life
of Presbyterian minister Anton T. Boisen (1876-1965), his crises and the religious delusion that
brought him to the brink of the abyss after the trauma he experienced during World War I.
Delusion is seen as a way of experiencing and speaking in which rationality seems to be lost and, at

this book was accepted in 2013 at the faculty of theology of the Radboud University in Nijmegen Netherlands for my phd. it is a theological search for understanding the way God and faith find its expression in crises like a psychosis. it is a casestudy of the biography of Anton T. Boisen.
