Abstract This chapter discusses whether, to which extent and in what way IAPR’s history can serve as an empirical basis for reflection on some of the theoretic basic issues in the psychology of religion. Attention is given to some enduring problems facing the discipline and to some different types of psychology of religion. A new hypothesis is formulated about IAPR’s founder suddenly leaving the field, followed by a brief introduction to the volume.
