Making Sense of Sex
Making Sense of Sex: Attitudes towards Sexuality in Early Jewish and Christian Literature. By William Loader. Grand Rapids, Mich.: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 2013. Pp. vii + 168. $24 (paper
Devotions in the Ancient Way of Offices
Devotions in the Ancient Way of Offices was first published as a Catholic primer for worship between intimates, then reformed for individual Protestant worship, and then reformed again for Protestant worship between intimates. Each adaptation engages the so-called "ancient" quality of its offices, primarily medieval, as authorization for the kinds of domestic worship it promotes. I examine how the author and adapters of the text authorize their c…
Feminism and Religion
Renowned subject experts Michele A. Paludi and J. Harold Ellens lead readers through a detailed exploration of the feminist methods, issues, and theoretical frameworks that have made women central, not marginal, to religions around the world. At a conference in 2013, Gloria Steinem noted that religion is the "biggest problem" facing feminism today. In this insightful volume, a team of researchers, psychologists, and religious leaders led by edito…
Homosexuality in Biblical Perspective
Przekazy biblijne na temat homoseksualizmu nie są jednoznaczne. Problem poruszony w pracy dotyczy z jednej strony zdefiniowania samego pojęcia homoseksualizmu, z drugiej - dyskusji jego aspektów uwidocznionych w społeczeństwie okresu biblijnego. Biblia nie odróżnia orientacji homoseksualnej od zachowania homoseksualnego – podobnie jak i inne przekazy literackie świata grecko-rzymskiego. Autor, dyskutując terminologię z punktu widzenia teologa i p…

Sex in the Bible
What is the Bible's stance on such controversial issues as homosexuality and polygamy? What does it have to say about sexual behaviors that some would deem perverted or criminal? Is sex always wrong if it is not used to create life? Ellens answers these and other questions in a book that argues that our understanding of what the Bible has to say about sex is frequently misguided. He corrects our impressions with a look at the Scriptures themselve…

A Psychological Biography for Jesus
Homosexuality in Biblical Perspective
The Bible and psychology, an interdisciplinary pilgrimage
A psychodynamic hermeneutic of the fall story
The Psychology of Religious Vocations
Biblical Authority and Christian Psychology II
Psychodynamics in Mass Media Society
Communications systems have become the central organizing framework of Western society as they have progressed from a position of simply serving to unite society to a status of cultural domination. Through an exploration of definition, the complexity of communications is obviated. The very complexity involved is seen as cause for anxiety, leading to a conceptualization of communication as a psychodynamic process of essential importance to human p…
Communication Theory and Petitionary Prayer
The thesis of this article contends, on the basis of the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6, that the petitionary role of prayer is as much designed for its effect upon the person praying as upon God. The article is a psychoexegetical study of the Lord's Prayer with an analysis of the psychological and spiritual implications for Christian thought, behavior, and feeling regarding prayer's nature, objectives, function, and consequences
Anxiety and the Rise of Religious Experience
Humans everywhere worship. To do so seems native to human personality. Liturgies of worship grow out of psychological and spiritual sources deep within the human personality. Those psychic (psyche) sources of human religion are closely related to the native human anxiety patterns discernible in human personality. Some forms of worship and religion meet the deep human psychic needs better than other forms. Most religious practices in human life an…
The Armstrong Empire
A Theology of Communication
The development of a theology of communication is currently imperative. The matter is of special urgency for Christians in the “helping professions,” especially Christian counselors. Communications is basic to humaneness and apparently to being “in God's image.” Though basic and natural, communication is extremely inefficient in humans. While our knowledge explodes, our communication deteriorates with the rise of cultural tribalism in society. Th…
Psychological Dynamics in Christian Worship
Worship is essentially a horizontal relationship between the human persons involved, not a vertical relationship with God. It is a human celebration of the historical datum that “God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself.” That celebration is not essentially sermon pedagogy nor mood inspiration. The purpose of worship is the achievement of emotional health and spiritual wholeness in the form of relief from destructive anxiety by means …
