Søren Kierkegaard's Christian Psychology: Insight for Counseling and Pastoral Care

4.60 out of 5 stars

Description

Soren Kierkegaard, a philosopher-writer of profound insight, has captivated the imagination of the twentieth century like few others. As one delves deeper into his thought, his ideas reveal a striking relevance to contemporary society, particularly for Christians. This is especially true in the realm of psychology. Kierkegaard's own personal struggles, shaped by the bleak and dismal environment of his early years, deeply influenced his perspective on psychology as an integral part of personal growth and self-discovery. His distinctly Christian framework posits that humanity's purpose is to connect with God, a fundamental aspect of self-awareness. However, humanity's propensity for self-deception and rebellion against God leads to a perpetual struggle against its own happiness and well-being. Building on this Kierkegaardian foundation, C. Stephen Evans explores the far-reaching consequences of humanity's quest for wholeness and self-actualization. This book, written for a diverse audience including psychologists, pastors, counselors, and individuals seeking self-awareness, transcends professional boundaries to speak to the universal human aspiration for self-discovery and personal growth.
