Exploring Psychology and Christian Faith: An Introductory Guide

Introductory psychology courses often raise significant questions about the nature of being human. Christianity, with its emphasis on humans made in the image of God, has a clear-cut perspective. Psychology offers answers too, but they are often only obliquely stated. Drawn from more than 50 years of classroom experience, this introductory guide provides students with a coherent framework for considering psychology from a Christian perspective. The authors explore biblical themes of human nature in relation to all major areas of psychology, showing how a Christian understanding of humans can inform the study of psychology. Brief, accessible chapters correspond to standard introductory psychology textbooks, making this an excellent supplemental text. End-of-chapter questions are included.
