At his death in 1987, Paul W. Pruyser of the Menninger Foundation
was widely recognized as one of America's foremost authorities on
the psychology of religion. His book A Dynamic Psychology of
Religion set the stage for creative dialogue on the subject. In
this volume, two leading practitioners in the field present a
compilation of Pruyser's seminal articles, providing an overview of
the major themes in Pruyser's thought. Newton Malony and Bernard
Spilka evaluate Pruyser's viewpoint and suggest how his position
continues to influence the psychology of religion.
Winner of Prize for Outstanding Book in Theology and the Natural
Sciences As science crafts increasingly detailed accounts of human
nature, what has become of the soul? This collaborative project
strives for greater consonance between contemporary science and
Christian faith. Outstanding scholars in biology, genetics,
neuroscience, cognitive science, philosophy, theology, biblical
studies, and ethics join here to offer contemporary accounts of
human nature consistent with Christian teaching. Their central
theme is a nondualistic account of the human person that does not
consider the "soul" an entity separable from the body; scientific
statements about the physical nature of human beings are about
exactly the same entity as are theological statements concerning
the spiritual nature of human beings. For all those interested in
fundamental questions of human identity posed by the present
context, this volume will provide a fascinating and authoritative
resource.
