Whether Sigmund Freud's theory precludes serious engagement with
psychoanalytic theory for those professing faith in the God of the
Judeo-Christian tradition has been controversial for years. Coming
to terms with Freud's theory has proved difficult for religious
believers because of his stance that religious faith is little more
than psychological projection. Building on the work of philosopher
and theologian Paul Ricoeur, psychoanalyst Ana-Maria Rizzuto, and
feminist theorist Judith Van Herik, author Kirk A. Bingaman
demonstrates that it is possible and even advantageous for
believers to hold their religious faith in dialectical tension with
psychoanalysis. Bingaman shows how Freud's critique of religion can
enrich and strengthen, rather than destroy, the faith of the
believer. What emerges from the author's argument is a creative
method for living within the emotional spiritual tension that
develops whenever our belief system is challenged or disrupted.
