The present work aims at pointing out historical aspects of neurotheology and also some of the foundations proposed by Andrew Newberg for the systematization of neurotheology as a scientific field of research. From such considerations, the future perspectives of the religion point to the construction of a spirituality focused on health, being developed in a space of tolerance and plurality. / A neuroteologia é um campo emergente de pesquisa que busca compreender a relação entre o cérebro e a mente, bem como avaliar o que acontece com o cérebro de uma pessoa envolvida com atividades e experiências espirituais e religiosas.
