Peter Bebergal

Peter Bebergal served as an IEET Fellow in 2009. He received his Masters of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School in 1996. Since that time he has written widely on religion, science fiction, and the intersection of science and faith. He also regularly reviews science fiction and fantasy for various publications. Some of the current themes that find their way into his work include the science of psychedelic research and consciousness, the negative influence of biblical literalism on the religious imagination, the value of the irrational in human life, and the importance of narrative as a way of understanding our place in the universe. He is working on a book on the history of psychedelics and mysticism in America. Peter is the coauthor with Scott Korb of The Faith Between Us. He lives with his wife and son in Cambridge, Mass. Where he collects comics books and attempts to build little robots.
