This article presents a critical consideration of Jacob Belzen's contributions to and advocacy of a cultural psychology of religion; contributions of longstanding place and influence in the psychology of religion, summarised in Belzen's recent book Towards cultural psychology of religion: principles, approaches, applications. Belzen's contributions are commended to readers, and his book is championed as a major work of importance to anyone interested in mental health, religion, and culture. A critical appraisal suggests areas for further consideration and inclusion in future efforts.
