Can the phenomena of the human mind be separated from the practices
of spiritual formation-of growing to have the mind of Christ?
Research into the nature of moral and spiritual change has revived
in recent years in the worlds of psychology on one hand and
theology and philosophy on the other. But psychology and spiritual
formation draw upon distinct bodies of research and theory grounded
in different methodologies, resulting in conversation that has
suffered from a lack of interdisciplinary cross-pollination. Rooted
in a year-long discussion held by Biola University's Center for
Christian Thought (CCT), this volume bridges the gaps caused by
professional specialization among psychology, theology, and
philosophy. Each essay was forged out of an integrative discussion
among theologians, psychologists, philosophers, New Testament
scholars, educators, and pastors around the CCT seminar table.
Topics that emerged included relational and developmental
spirituality, moral virtue and judgment, and suffering and trauma.
Psychology and Spiritual Formation in Dialogue speaks across
disciplinary divides, fostering fruitful conversation for fresh
insights into the nature and dynamics of personal spiritual change.
