The relationship between psychology and Christian theology has been
one of the most important topics in the science and religion
fields. Discussions, however, are too frequently one-sided. This
book takes an alternative approach: following the lead of Fraser
Watts, the contributions develop various aspects of the mutual
enrichment of each discipline by the other. Moving beyond outdated
models of conflict and independence, this book highlights areas of
fruitful enhancement at the interface of Christian belief and
practice with psychology. Set out in four sections the book's
chapters first engage methodological and substantive issues in the
interdisciplinarity raised by the dialogue between psychology and
theology. Second, chapters explore a variety of areas in which
psychology enriches theology, looking at both historical and
contemporary themes such as psychoanalysis, embodiment and
mindfulness. Chapters in the third section explore some of the
theological enrichments of psychology, with topics including
character strengths, wisdom and forgiveness. The final section
engages aspects of mutual enrichment in religious life and pastoral
care with an applied focus on mental health, meditation, prayer,
spiritual direction and spirituality. A refreshing alternative
study of the mutual enrichment of psychology and theology with
theoretical and practical applications, this book reinforces the
need for both disciplines to pursue creative and constructive
engagement with each other. Of interest to scholars in psychology,
theology and religious studies this book will also be of interest
more widely as a case study of successful interdisciplinary work.
