About the Contributor(s): Daniel Nehrbass (PhD, Fuller Theological
Seminary, ThM, Biola University, MDiv, Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary) is the executive director of Nightlight Christian
Adoptions in Anaheim, California. He previously served as a pastor
for seventeen years, as an adjunct professor at Fuller Seminary and
Biola University, and as a professional counselor.
Using resources from scripture, theology, and the social sciences,
pastoral counselor David Augsburger explores the complicated issues
of Christian forgiveness and reconciliation and their real-world
applications. Comprehensive in scope and fully illustrated with
numerous charts, graphs, case studies and parables, this book is a
unique and essential resource for clergy, pastoral counselors and
other helping professionals.
Believing not only that conflict is inevitable in human life but
that it is essential and can be quite constructive, Augsburger
proposes a shift to an "international" approach in resolving
conflict. Augsburger focuses on interpersonal and group conflicts
and provides a comparison of conflict patterns within and among
various cultures.
Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the word hate is
being used in our society more than ever, argues respected teacher
and author David Augsburger, yet we still most often see hate in
others and refuse to see it in ourselves. This book is at once a
psychological, theological, and sociological analysis of hate and
an argument for moving from hatred to compassion in our dealings
with others. Augsburger explores the different levels of hate,
which he believes range across a continuum, from extremely
destructive to constructive patterns of hating. As he discusses how
it is possible for hatred to become compassion, Augsburger helps
the reader understand hate as it operates in ourselves and in
others, and he proposes a path to help us move away from violent
expressions of hate.
