What is at the root of the problem of humanity? Is it pride or lack
of self-esteem? Do we love ourselves too much or too little? The
debate about the human condition has often been framed this way in
both theological and psychological circles. Convictions about
preaching, teaching, marriage and child rearing, as well as
politics, social welfare, business management and the helping
professions, more often than not, fall on one side or the other of
this divide. With theological and psychological insight Terry D.
Cooper provides trenchant analysis of this centuries-long debate
and leads us beyond the usual impasse. Humanistic psychology has
often regarded traditional Christianity as its archrival in
assessing the human condition. Cooper demonstrates how the
Christian doctrine of a sinful and fallen humanity sheds light on
the human condition which exhibits both pride and self-denigration.
Bringing theological insights ranging from Augustine and John
Calvin to Reinhold Niebuhr together with the psychological theories
of Freud, Jung, Carl Rogers, Gerald May and Karen Horney, Cooper
guides readers through the maze of competing claims to a resolution
which affirms Christian conviction while critically engaging modern
psychological theory. A model of the proper integration of
Christian theology and the discipline of psychology, Sin, Pride
& Self-Acceptance will be of special help to students and
practitioners of psychology, pastoral counseling and clinical
psychology.
