In this fascinating and original book, Leslie J. Francis applies
personality type theory to the way we study the bible. Why, when
two people are asked what they find important in a biblical text,
are they likely to come up with different answers? Why, when a
sermon speaks strongly to someone, do others find it
incprehensible? In recent years, both inside and outside the
Christian community, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) has
been extensively used as an aid to spiritual growth, self-knowledge
and community building. Type theory has become an invaluable
resource in the spheres of education, management and pastoral care.
Here, Lesie J. Frances suggests that in learning to understand our
own preferred pattern of spirituality we do not only deepen our
understanding of the gospels but also increase our sensitivity to
the approaches of others. Personality Type and Scripture brings
together the texts from St Mark's gospel which are included in Year
B of the Revised Common Lectionary, and uses the insights of MBTI
theory to explore the range of possible responses to them.
Accessible enough for use in personal Bible reading, its
disciplined and professional approach makes it an invaluable
companion for Bible study leaders and preachers. Leslie J. Frances
is D.J.James Professor of Pastoral Theology and Trinity College,
Carmarthen, and University of Wales, Lampeter, UK. He is an
Anglican priest, a Fellow of the British Psychological Society and
a qualified practitioner of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.
