“Jack Call plunges deeply into concerns of meaning and purpose. ‘What’s the point?’ he asks. If there is only one ultimate goal, that points to ‘an eternity that scares me . . . frozen, motionless, stale and suffocating.’ Instead, he paints a vibrant picture of hope for ‘absolutely fresh newness, as on the day of Creation, with solids that look like they have just gelled from liquid, and liquids that look like shining solids, and everything breathing and squirming with life.’ Wow!

This book deepened my understanding of the kingdom Jesus spoke of; it deepened my faith. My own experiences of ‘spiritual ecstasy’ have come through REALLY good music and nature. It was fascinating to read how Jack Call’s psychedelic experiences have given him deeply beautiful spiritual insights.
I hated to have the book end. I know I will read it again.”
Barbara Kremins, Regisered Nurse, retired

“. . . a breath of fresh air at a time when many folks are losing their religion. The book offers bold and refreshing takes on age-old questions in a modern context. . . . I highly recommend this book for believers, non-believers, and those that are undecided. The author has built a large tent for all of us to be together in peace.”
Bruce Olav Solheim, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of History, Playwright, Citrus College, Glendora, California

“Bravo!! Loved it. This book contains marvelous insights.”
The Rev. Bill Garrison, Rector, St. Matthias Episcopal Church, Whittier, California

“Written with humor, clear language, and a practical approach to the spiritual journey,  Psychedelic Christianity does its readers a great service by reflecting on what many of us have probably thought or wondered, but few of us have the context and rigor to evaluate on our own.”
Michael Dennis, Moderator, First Congregational Church of Los Angeles

“According to Luke, Jesus says about the Kingdom of Heaven that it isn’t something to be found down the road, but is already here. Similarly, Thomas reports Jesus as having said that the Kingdom of Heaven is already on earth, but that men do not see it. In Psychedelic Christianity, Jack Call echoes these profound and yet puzzling proclamations. Psychedelic Christianity is Jack Call’s most recent exploration into connections he and others have made between insights gained by way of psychedelic and ‘traditional’ religious experience. This is a connection first suggested in God is a Symbol of Something True (2009), and pursued further in some detail in the follow-up   Dreams and Resurrection (2014). A highly trained philosopher, Jack Call (Ph.D., Claremont) takes great care to present clear and convincing arguments, and as someone who has walked the walk, speaks with authority about both psychedelic and religious experience. One of the aims of this book is to show how Christianity, how its system of archetypes that constitutes its intelligible framework, can work toward healing the spiritually blind, so that they many now see the Kingdom of Heaven that has been here all along.”
Kurt Smith, Ph. D., Professor of Philosophy, Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania

“Jack Call’s Psychedelic Christianity offers readers a kaleidoscope of profoundly personal experience and emergent theology — hoping for ‘glorious joy’ in life after life while exploring this life, focusing on human desire for moral, sensual and intellectual beauty in the here and now. Not ‘an aging hippie,’ Call shoots from the hip; he is both self-reflective and frankly straightforward in opinion (e.g. opposing politicized Christianity). Scripture is generously cited.”

“I was brought up with little religion. My mom and dad are non-practicing Christians, and my stepfather is most likely an atheist. What little I know regarding Christianity, I have learned from my grandmothers, and I have picked things up here and there. I admit, I am an agnostic and am still trying to figure this all out. That’s part of the reason why I wanted to read this book. The other being I’ve never taken an LSD trip. As someone who is afraid of death and what happens after, this book has brought some comfort. If anything it has taught me a little more about Christianity from a completely different viewpoint. As a scientist, I like things that make logical sense. Not everything does, but the author did an excellent job of using logic in many of his arguments. I enjoyed this, as I felt the author was using more than blind faith to justify his views, and to me that is important. Evidence and thought. As a philosopher, the author has a way of keeping the reader intrigued by using evidence and logic. Some may find the reading a bit dense at times, but others will also appreciate the preciseness of the language used.”
Paul Swatzel, Professor of Mathematics, Citrus College, Glendora, California

Psychedelic Christianity is an entertaining and lucid evaluation of the usefulness of hallucinogens in achieving insight into key questions that underlie a spiritual quest. These include our relationship to a higher deity and what is expected of us. The argument leads us to examine the ultimate question concerning the goal of existence. Jack Call argues that while this goal has already been reached, it is not the end of the road. All in all, a fresh examination of the overlap between substance-induced spiritual experiences and Christian teachings, and the revelations that one may have on the other. Psychedelic Christianity is an innovative and provocative read that feeds the inquiring mind.”
Rick Brown, Ph.D., Psychology Dept., Citrus College

“A challenging read but worth it. A philosophical inquiry into the nature of God, with the author’s experiences with psychedelic assistance in opening to the wonder of the Divine.”
Cathy Dehaven, hospice RN (ret.)

“This book will not be everybody’s cup of tea nor rest easily with their way of thinking. Having been a psychiatric nurse, an ordained priest, a psychic and a Counsellor-Psychologist I am not attracted to try this route for myself for I have seen too many adverse reactions, but before there be any words of condemnation I suggest the reader attempt to place their religious scruples and prejudices to one side to consider just what Jack Call is saying alongside the suggestion of psychedelic chemical use and evaluate where the practice has led him. It might surprise them.”
