Description
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.
