“This volume explores the intersection of psychology and theology but it is not a simple intersection. It is an intersection affected by rich theological and ecclesiological traditions by the ravages and wonders of modern psychology and by the character and qualities of todays ministers and communities of faith.” (from the introduction)For two millennia Christians have been caring for souls. Since the Enlightenment though the Christian concept of the soul has been usurped by modern and postmodern notions of the self. “Somehow we misplaced the soul even as we developed a thriving science of the psyche ” lament the editors of this volume. Thus there is a clash between Western therapeutic culture and the churchs understanding of the souls nature and its care.As a result some Christians deride psychology as dangerous. Others believe that it has much to offer Christians interested in caring for the soul. What is the proper relationship between psychology and theology? Is soul care the shared task of these two fields? This collection of essays is a multidisciplinary dialogue on the interface between psychology and theology that takes seriously the long rich tradition of soul care in the church. In this volume youll find incisive discussions of the current state of theology and psychology overcoming the acquiescence to secularism theological resources for developing Christian psychology taking theology to heart in psychology taking psychology to heart in theology and Christian life Contributors include Jeffry H.
