Jesus & the Shrinks

Topic Description

Let’s, just for fun, apply a psychotherapist’s approach to a biblical scene. See Freud deal with the woman caught in adultery, and you’ll easily notice differences (and some similarities) in his and Jesus’ views. Set Jesus side by side with Fromm or Rogers or Maslow or Glasser, and the same thing will happen. Watch how Jesus teaches modern therapies way before their proponents thought them up. The point of these posts is to help you be discerning. I want you to base your counsel on what is true.
