Exploring Psychology and Christian Faith: An Introductory Guide

"An excellent resource for introducing students to the relationship between their faith and the study of psychology"This introductory guide provides students with a coherent framework for considering psychology from a Christian perspective. The second edition has been revised and updated throughout based on student and instructor feedback."The second edition of Exploring Psychology and Christian Faith is exceptional. This is an excellent resource for introducing students to the relationship between their faith and the study of psychology."--Mark Yarhouse, Wheaton College"Writing a book aimed at beginning college students requires the ability to communicate complex concepts with clarity and to do so in a way that engages students and, ideally, invites self-reflection. Moes and Tellinghuisen have checked all the boxes. My undergraduate students have been enthusiastic about the first edition, and the second edition shows promise of being even more inspiring."--Elizabeth Lewis Hall, Biola University"Psychologists Moes and Tellinghuisen are uniquely equipped to engage and critique psychological science from a distinctly Christian perspective. This is a cogent, thorough book that will prove insightful and illuminating for Christians seeking a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of themselves and others. Strongly recommended."--Bryan J. Dik, Colorado State University; author of Redeeming Work: A Guide to Discovering God's Calling for Your Career"In this fresh edition, Moes and Tellinghuisen provide a faithful and fruitful framework for rigorous engagement with the psychological science of human behavior and mental processes. An excellent resource with lasting value!"--Charlotte V. O.

Edman, Northwestern College, Iowa"In this second edition, Moes and Tellinghuisen improve on an excellent text by making it more succinct, accessible, and effective.
