Details

The destructive influence of secular thinking on the modern church is very much felt in the area of understanding human behavior, motivation, relationships, and sanctification. This book is extremely relevant for the restoration of biblical anthropology and the understanding of sin as an important component of the Gospel. It returns us to the categories and terms of God's Word, which is effective and sufficient for diagnosing and solving the problems of the human soul. The authors convincingly combine biblical argumentation with popular scientific presentation. The book is recommended to all pastors and caring Christians to understand the issues of so-called mental illnesses, disorders, chemical imbalances, etc.
