Integral to a Christian worldview and to psychology are
foundational questions about personhood: What characteristics are
essential? What is our purpose? Do we naturally incline toward good
or bad? Are we accountable for self and responsible for others? In
The Person in Psychology and Christianity, developmental
psychologist Marjorie Gunnoe demonstrates how the integration of
theological and psychological perspectives offers a more
comprehensive understanding of personhood than either approach
alone. Gunnoe opens with a brief summary of biblical and
theological perspectives on four organizing themes (human essence,
purpose, moral tendency, and accountability). She then examines the
intersection of this faith-based depiction with five theories of
social development proposed by Erik Erikson John Bowlby B. F.
Skinner Albert Bandura Evolutionary Psychology For each, Gunnoe
includes a biography, a summary of the theorist's broad perspective
on personhood, and an analysis of the theorist's stance on the four
specific themes. This book is written for a general audience and
suitable for undergraduate and graduate instruction. Christian
Association for Psychological Studies (CAPS) Books explore how
Christianity relates to mental health and behavioral sciences
including psychology, counseling, social work, and marriage and
family therapy in order to equip Christian clinicians to support
the well-being of their clients.
