Description

Even as scientists learn more about mental disorders, illness, and wellness, people are increasingly interested in finding greater spiritual enlightenment. Therapists who are trained in the most cutting-edge scientific treatment techniques are often limited in spiritual tools and knowledge, just as pastoral counsellors vary in their level of expertise and comfort in psychological science. This book examines the current state of scientific and empirical knowledge on the most pressing mental health issues; Bible wisdom on these issues; and a synthesis, or discussion of whether and how modern psychological science and the Bible agree or disagree on various issues. Issues and chapters covered include: Addiction, Anxiety, Conflict, Depression and Despair, Finding Meaning in Life, Identity, Loneliness, Love, Money Trouble, and Work, as well as a special chapter on connections with Eastern Philosophies. This academic work offers a conversational bridge to assist scientists toward better knowing and incorporating Bible wisdom into their work, and likewise to offer Bible students and scholars an integrated resource on psychological science and disorders.
