Download or read book Resurrection Psychology written by Margaret Alter and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2005-05-01 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Resurrection Psychology', Margaret Alter advances a system of psychology based upon biblical Christianity. Moving away from the notion that therapy must be completely value-neutral, the author suggests how the worlds of psychology and theology can enhance and inform one another. The result is a practical model of human personality observable in Jesus' life and teachings. As a practicing therapist and adjunct professor, Alter combines her extensive experience with years of study to offer a fresh approach to the field of psychology. By examining gospel stories that represent ten major themes and applying them to individual lives today, this book draws upon the teachings of Jesus as it addresses and transforms contemporary theories of psychology.

Download or read book Human Being written by Jocelyn Bryan and published by SCM Press. This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jocelyn Bryan provides a psychological perspective on key aspects of human nature and behaviour drawing on recent research and reflect on the issues this raises for theology and ministry. The aim is to introduce theology students, those studying practical theology and those engaged in ministerial formation or ministry to the significant current research in psychology which will deepen understanding of some of the core aspects of human nature. The interdisciplinary nature of the exercise aims to model the benefits of such an approach for both theology and ministerial practice and as such the book aims to cross traditional boundaries. The objective is to introduce the reader to new fields of academic psychology beyond those of counselling and psychoanalysis, dated personality psychology and the popular psychology which is often referred to in publications in the area of ministerial practice and enable the reader to engage with recent psychological research and developments.
Download or read book The Psychology of Christian Character Formation written by Joanna Collicutt and published by SCM Press. This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Psychology of Christian Character Formation offers clergy and those preparing for ministry some of the potential riches provided by rapidly developing branches of contemporary scientific psychology of which they might otherwise be unaware. Joanna Collicutt, an experienced psychologist and theological educator, focuses on the psychology of character, virtue and spirituality. Furthermore, the psychology is not used to support training in pastoral ministry to others, but rather to support the reader’s own self-awareness and spiritual growth. Joanna Collicutt understands Christian formation as Christian communities and their members growing up into conformity with the character of Christ through the action of the Holy Spirit. This is explored in the three parts of the book: first, an exploration of the process of Christian formation that includes a detailed analysis of the character of Jesus of Nazareth; secondly some focused psychology aimed at supporting an informed self-awareness in the reader; finally – and the most lengthy section – a series of chapters devoted to using psychological insights to help cultivate the Christ-like characteristics identified in the first section.

Download or read book The Theory of Christian Psychology written by Eva Klostreich and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-07-17 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Theory of Christian Psychology comes from the worldview that sees humanity as the object of a love relationship with Jesus Christ. Parallel to Buddhist forms of Psychology, The Theory of Christian Psychology meets the worldwide Christian population need for its own Psychology. The Theory of Christian Psychology presents a flexible foundation, addressing personality with full humanity dimension, integrating principles of clinical psychology found in Psychoanalytic Psychodynamic Psychology. Soundly Biblical and non-denominational it focuses on key precepts that bind Christianity together. The Theory of Christian Psychology bridges clinical psychology and theology in an intersection of power accessibility. Psychology has been culture alien to Christianity. I have been asked to leave churches who only need God when they discovered I was a psychologist, and criticized by others, who only need psychology. Sound psychological principles are inherent throughout the Bible. There is no dichotomy necessary. We just need to speak the same language to clearly see the intersection. Issues addressed in The Theory of Christian Psychology carry relevancy for law and education. Her fi rst book, Dr. Klostreich plans to continue to write and speak. She is initiating The Institute for Christian Psychology to offer seminars, training, certification and ongoing research.

Download or read book Revolt Against Maturity written by R. J. Rushdoony and published by Chalcedon Foundation. This book was released on 2020-04-13 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revolt Against Maturity is a study of Biblical psychology. Biblical psychology contrasts sharply with a science of the mind based on the religious presuppositions of humanism, which regards man as having no constant nature. A science of the mind based on humanism views the mind as a clean slate, and man's nature as plastic to be molded by men and institutions in the image of man for the new order he will establish. The Biblical view sees Psychology as a branch of theology; theology is a study of all that the Scriptures declare about God. Theology is essential not only to the study of psychology, but to ethics, anthropology, soteriology, eschatology, etc. Biblical Psychology assumes that man is created in the image of God directly, and not indirectly through theistic- or any other kind of evolution. Being created directly by God, man is not in the process of defining or determining his ontological qualities. Man has already been determined and defined by God. Thus it is God who has established the limits and nature of the mind. The mind of regenerate man experiences radically different motives and presuppositions from those of unregenerate man. The author sees the central task of Christian Psychology as that of discerning the mind and soul differences that exist between the regenerate and unregenerate. Pastoral counseling should first seek to establish whether or not a person is truly regenerate, and then aid the regenerate to further growth in sanctification. Work was to have provided the joy of fulfillment in God's goal of maturity for man, but because of the curse man is often subject to the frustration of meaningless and degrading work. True work is the exercise of dominion over the creation under God. When man's work is separated from dominion of the created world, he is often subject to moral and religious paralysis and becomes a sick soul. Man suffers similarly when he abstracts God from reality. Since God created everything, nothing can be interpreted apart from God. When man attempts this impossibility, he suffers psychologically. True knowledge of anything is revelational of God. Thus, an aspect of man's revolt against maturity and against life is his revolt against knowledge. Psychological damaging is inevitable for those in revolt against the maturity which the God of all life and all knowledge has purposed for man. The certain and true guilt which the human personality suffers because of sin can be alleviated only when God effects regeneration through the atoning blood of Christ. Thus having laid aside the old self with its evil practices, the new self is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him in righteousness and holiness of the truth. (Col. 3:10; Eph. 4:24) In the general or wider sense, the image of God in man means that man like God is a personality. The author notes that "in the redeemed man, this means that man becomes progressively more and more a person, self-conscious in his growth and character (as opposed to being unconscious of his nature), and steadily manifesting more and more the image of God in knowledge, righteousness, holiness, and dominion." Sanctification is unto holiness by which man realizes his chief end: to glorify God and enjoy Him forever: But because of his revolt against maturity man continues to suffer psychological damage both personally and collectively through the chaotic condition of his mind and his culture.
