Book excerpt: This volume makes a powerful case for the inclusion of ultimate concerns - spiritual and religious themes in personal strivings - in an attempt to build a motivational theory of personality.

Emmons then sets forth an innovative framework for the assessment and measurement of ultimate concerns.
