This book's aim is to enrich and deepen our psychological
understanding of biblical concepts and personalities. Such
understanding is relevant for theology as well as for psychology
and psychiatry. It may help theologians to contextualize their
discipline by bringing it into contact with contemporary
psychological and existential issues and tensions, both at an
individual and a societal level. It also encourages psychologists
and psychiatrists to develop and refine their vocabularies when
they try to comprehend the existential meaning of what is
transmitted to them by their clients. The book highlights the
concepts of prophecy, martyrdom, and messianism from Christian and
Judaic perspectives. Each concept offers one biblical figure as
representative: Jeremiah, Paul, and Jesus, respectively. The
sections on these three subjects and personalities are sandwiched
between a section on historical and conceptual issues, and a
section devoted to select interdisciplinary issues.
