How are Christians to understand and undertake the discipline of
psychology? This question has been of keen interest (and sometimes
concern) to Christians because of the importance we place on a
correct understanding of human nature. Psychology can sometimes
seem disconnected from, if not antithetical to, Christian
perspectives on life. How are we to understand our Christian
beliefs about persons in relation to secular psychological beliefs?
This revised edition of a widely appreciated Spectrum volume now
presents five models for understanding the relationship between
psychology and Christianity. All the essays and responses have been
reworked and updated with some new contributors including the
addition of a new perspective, the transformative view from John
Coe and Todd Hall (Biola University). Also found here is David
Powlison (Westminster Theological Seminary) who offers the biblical
counseling model. The levels-of-explanation model is advanced by
David G. Myers (Hope College), while Stanton L. Jones (Wheaton
College) offers an entirely new chapter presenting the integration
model. The Christian psychology model is put forth by Robert C.
Roberts (Baylor University) now joined by Paul J. Watson
(University of Tennesee, Chattanooga). Each of the contributors
responds to the other essayists, noting points of agreement as well
as problems they see. Eric L. Johnson provides a revised
introduction that describes the history of Christians and
psychology, as well as a conclusion that considers what might unite
the five views and how a reader might evaluate the relative
strengths and weaknesses of each view. Psychology and Christianity:
Five Views has become a standard introductory textbook for students
and professors of Christian psychology. This revision promises to
keep it so. Spectrum Multiview Books offer a range of viewpoints on
contested topics within Christianity, giving contributors the
opportunity to present their position and also respond to others in
this dynamic publishing format.
