Limning the Psyche: Explorations in Christian Psychology

Rating:
Summary: Academic insights need experiential insights for balance.
Review: There is an over reliance on academic insights. The Christian scriptures are explicit concerning the limitations of rational thought. Rational inquiry into the ways of the Almighty always ends with a gaping question mark! This open question can only be bridged by personal experience which produces a personal knowing without the need to comprehend. This quote from Carl Jung makes my point : "I cound not say I believe. I know! I had the experience of being gripped by something that is stronger than myself, something, that people call God." While calling upon the sights of a multiplicity of sources, why did the authors neglect insights from two very well known Christian psychologists/priests: Morton Kelsey and John A. Sanford?
