Psychology and the Bible : a new way to read the Scriptures
"Thirty-four experts from seven countries gather here to show us how the various schools of psychology interpret the Scriptures, from sexual laws and beliefs about shame to the personalities of Jesus, Job and the prophet Ezekiel. A range of psychological perspectives from Freud to Kohut is chronicled, demonstrating a broad spectrum of applications from the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament."--BOOK JACKET
