"This volume explores the intersection of psychology and theology, but it is not a simple intersection. Since the Enlightenment, though, the Christian concept of the soul has been usurped by modern and postmodern notions of the self. It is an intersection affected by rich theological and ecclesiological traditions, by the ravages and wonders of modern psychology, and by the character and qualities of today's ministers and communities of faith." (from the introduction) For two millennia Christians have been caring for souls.
Thus there is a clash between Western therapeutic culture and the church's understanding of the soul's nature and its care. "Somehow we misplaced the soul even as we developed a thriving science of the psyche," lament the editors of this volume. As a result, some Christians deride psychology as dangerous.
Others believe that it has much to offer
