Book Description
Theological education has historically placed a strong emphasis on Scripture as the source of principle and practice for ministry. However, when it comes to the arena of counseling, this has largely not been the case. Focusing on the significant influence of Wayne Edward Oates (1917-1999), the author seeks to explore how and why the American Protestant church arrived at the place where psychological counseling has become the norm and biblical counseling is treated as novel. A detailed study of Oates' anthropology, which served as the heart of his counseling theory and practice, demonstrates that it was shaped and informed by secular concepts, values, and principles instead of what God has to say about who we are as people, what plagues our souls, and where we find our true hope and healing. This subtle shift from the theological to the therapeutic has contributed to a much broader view from many in the church that counseling is more of a clinical and professional service rather than a personal or pastoral ministry of the Scriptures. Through these unsettling warnings and implications, the author hopes that the church will see the importance of once again engaging with the God-glorifying, Christ-honoring, and Spirit-empowering ministry of counseling.

The Psychology of Religion
Author: Wayne Edward Oates
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Psychology and religion
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Developed in classroom conversation with students and written in light of their reactions and the most up-to-date scholarship in the areas of both psychology and religion, this book provides a comprehensive psychological approach to the study of religious experience. The prevailing psychological point of view is a phenomenological one, and the overriding method is developmental. Although the author's stance is admittedly a product of the Judaeo-Christian heritage, his work encompasses the wisdom of other religions and secular statements of faith. He emphasizes the principles of process and development as the individual confronts spiritual reality in his daily existence. -- Book jacket.
