Description
The Bible and Mental Health: Towards a Biblical Theology of Mental Health This timely and important book explores how we can use scripture to explore questions of mental health within a Christian framework. Integrating high levels of biblical scholarship with theological and pastoral concerns, it considers how we can develop a helpful and pastoral use of scripture when dealing with mental health issues. The book features contributions from leading experts in the field, including Paula Gooder, Joanna Collicutt, Isabelle Hamley, David Firth, John Swinton, and Walter Brueggemann. A foreword from Archbishop Justin Welby adds further depth to the discussion. With a range of perspectives and insights, this book is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the intersection of faith and mental health. By examining scripture and its relevance to mental health, this book offers a fresh and nuanced approach to pastoral care and Christian theology.
