Abstract
The justification-validation of Christian religion and spirituality from the brain’s functioning addresses, first, the problem of religious belief is activated in the triune human brain, i.e. the reptilian-sensory, emotional and cognitive brain. The religious belief is not a-cerebral, but is registered in the frontal area of the cerebral cortex, the same area that deals with abstract knowledge and higher operations. In addition it is crossed of an intense activity of the memory-emotion. In the second instance, the epistemic justification of the religious forms, especially the Christian forms will be made, and it will be discovered that some religious expressions are not justified, since they do not insert some dimensions necessary for the validation. Those dimensions are exterior / sensory, the interior / emotional and the transcendent cognitive. Here, a rigorously justified Christian religious belief, through the concept “religious experience” intersecting with the three dimensions is noted.
