Today Americans tend to turn to psychology when they want to understand themselves, and in this way we differ from people of previous ages who understood themselves primarily in terms of morality and religion. Christians, however, may legitimately worry that this cultural shift in personality is not entirely healthy. Limning the Psyche explores this issue in depth. Sixteen original essays by respected psychologists, theologians, and philosophers look at the practice of psychology from a Christian perspective, discuss the possibility and parameters of a distinctly Christian psychology, explore teh psychological implications of the Christian view of human nature, and more.

Royal octavo, softcover, near fine in gray and red wraps. Americans tend to turn to psychology when they want to understand themselves. Today, contemporary psychology presents itself as a science, which can and ought to function independently of theology: it emphasizes individual fulfillment and sometimes suggests that we are little more than the sum total of our genes and our environment. Christians, who believe themselves to be called to develop virtues such as love, humility, faith, perseverance, and who are called to find their fulfillment in a community devoted to the love of God and service in his kingdom, may wonder whether this turning to psychology is a good thing. In Limning the Psyche, fifteen respected psychologists, theologians, and philosophers look at the practice of psychology from a Christian perspective and discuss the parameters of a distinctly Christian psychology and explore the psychological implications of the Christian view of human nature. 373 pp. including index.
