Revolt Against Maturity: A Biblical Psychology of Man
by Rousas John Rushdoony
Ross House Books 1987
Overview
Revolt Against Maturity is a study of biblical psychology. Bible-based Christian psychology assumes that man is created in the image of God not indirectly shaped through theistic—or any other kind of—evolution. It believes that man has already been determined and defined by God. Rushdoony asserts that the central task of Christian psychology is to discern the mind and soul differences that exist between the regenerate and unregenerate man.
Man suffers when he abstracts God from reality. Since God created everything, nothing can be interpreted apart from God. When man attempts this impossibility, he suffers psychologically. Psychological damaging is inevitable for those in revolt against the maturity that the God of all life and all knowledge has purposed for man.

Rousas John Rushdoony (1916–2001) was a well-known American scholar, the author of more than 30 books. He held BA and MA degrees from the University of California and received his theological training at the Pacific School of Religion. An ordained minister, he worked as a missionary among Paiute and Shoshone Indians and as a pastor to two California churches. He founded the Chalcedon Foundation, an educational organization devoted to research, publishing, and cogent communication of a distinctively Christian scholarship to the world at large. His writing in the Chalcedon Report and his numerous books inspired a generation of believers to be active in reconstructing the world to the glory of Jesus Christ. Until his death, he resided in Vallecito, California, where he engaged in research, lecturing, and assisting others in developing programs to put faith into action.
