Description
Inspired by emerging new interpretations of Sigmund Freud, Lowe explores the ways in which psychoanalysis addresses the problems of evil and suffering. In particular, Loew argues that the psychoanalytic perspective illuminates the extent to which the human condition is marked by tragic conflict and self-delusion, as well as clarifies the limits of the unreflective optimism of the human potential movement.
Reviews / Votes
This book is an essential volume for thoughtful Christians in psychology, philosophy, theology, biblical studies, or religion. Journal of Psychology and Christianity Lowe exemplifies a model of integrating psychological knowledge with philosophical and theological interests, a model sufficiently productive to warrant serious consideration.
