A case in which a close relation was observed between epilepsy and a form of religious faith is discussed. This patient had a distinct inclination towards a religion which put more emphasis on the body than the mind. In addition, he found a specifically religious significance in the so-called ‘aura’ of his epileptic seizure, and this was an important point which linked him to the religious organization he belonged to. The author considered that the inclination to a religion which put emphasis on the body was important in discussing the religious psychopathology of the epileptic patient.
