Soul and Psyche: The Bible in Psychological Perspective
Here is a groundclearing work with the first
comprehensive bibliography of the field in
English. As the subtitle indicates, the book
first surveys past research and then plots
out a recommended course for the discipline.
The first section is an inclusive survey of
the diverse psychological approaches to
Scripture from precursors in the early
church to the developed approaches of the
present. The implications of the researches
of Freud, Jung, and the post-Freudians for
biblical studies are carefully explored,
along with studies of biblical scholars who
have employed psychological approaches.
Rollins seeks to establish an agenda for
psychological criticism as a discipline with
biblical studies. Major issues and concerns
are addressed and explained in a perceptive
and understandable manner.
