Toward a Christian Clinical Psychology
""I have known Professor Newton Malony for more than forty years. l have great respect for the way his mind works and the wise positions he takes. He is at once stimulating and creative, historically thorough and futuristically insightful.

Introduces the foundations of a distinctively Christian approach to counseling.
Radical Grace
The esteemed editor who brought us the acclaimed set The Destructive Power of Religion, turns his attention here to a similarly powerful, yet positive side of religion: how our concept of God can fuel healthy body and mind. This book contends that all health—mental and physical—is shaped, for good or ill, by our spiritual, theological, and psychological notions about the nature of God, and by the way we form an outlook on life as a result of these notions. Across history, a large percentage of people have believed that God is a threat, an attitude Ellens describes as sick gods created through pathological beliefs, or sick gods that make sick people. But Ellens grounds his brighter perspe...
Edith Stein and the Body-soul-spirit at the Center of Holistic Formation
With a particular emphasis on the soul, this book explores Edith Stein's holistic conception of the human being's body-soul-spirit unity, which forms the foundation of her Christian anthropology and her view of human formation. Characterized by an unremitting attention to interconnections, Stein emerges as a forerunner of contemporary holistic approaches. Edith Stein and the Body-Soul-Spirit at the Center of Holistic Formation demonstrates the breadth and relevance of Stein's work by engaging her thought with the anthropological views of fellow phenomenologist John Paul II, Wilkie Au's perspectives on holistic spirituality and formation, and several nonreductionist, neuroscientific viewpoints of the human being. This book also makes available to the English reader a significant amount of material from Stein's untranslated works. Anyone interested in theological anthropology, holistic spirituality, human formation, the body-mind question, or Edith Stein studies will benefit from the wealth of material presented in this single book.
Marks of His Wounds
It is a central tenet of Christian theology that we will be resurrected in our bodies at the last day. But we have been conditioned, writes Beth Felker Jones, to think of salvation as being about anything but the body. We think that what God wants for us has to do with our thoughts, our hearts, or our interior relationships. In popular piety and academic theology alike, strong spiritualizing tendencies influence our perception of the body. Historically, some theologians have denigrated the body as an obstacle to sanctification. This notion is deeply problematic for feminist ethics, which centers on embodiment. Jones's purpose is to devise a theology of the body that is compatible with femini...
Conversion of Chinese Students in Korea to Evangelical Christianity
Currently, about 6 percent of the eighty thousand Chinese college students in Korea are Christians, certainly no small number considering their future role within the Chinese Church. In this study, Chang Seop Kang seeks to find out the factors, process, and types concerning the conversion of thirty Chinese international students. This qualitative study gives a rich picture of their conversion stories, providing many examples from their insider perspectives. The key finding connecting these stories is experiencing God. Overall, this book showcases how an inductive data analysis such as grounded theory can produce a powerful message that affirms biblical truth.
Rolls-Royce Spirituality
"Spirituality" is in the news today as more and more people claim to be "spiritual" but not "religious." Rolls-Royce Spirituality is about being spiritual and religious through the ideals of Christian faith. Aspiring toward Christian spirituality is like hoping to drive a Rolls-Royce automobile someday. To own one is to possess the best car in the world--the dream of every car enthusiast. Attaining "Rolls-Royce spirituality" is living near to the ideals of the Christian life as taught by Saint Paul in his list of the "fruits of the Spirit" in Galatians 5:22ff. The list includes words familiar to everyone--love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Exploring their inner spiritual meaning reveals a deeper understanding that goes far beyond mundane faith. This volume explores these understandings and provides practical skills that make "Rolls-Royce spirituality" not only a desire, but also a real-life possibility for those who wish to transcend their mundane Christian faith.
Australian Soul
Australian Soul challenges the idea that religious and spiritual life in Australia is in decline. This fascinating book describes the character of religious and spiritual life in Australia today, and argues that, far from petering out, religion and spirituality are thriving. Gary Bouma, the leading expert on the state of religious life in Australia, provides the most up-to-date facts and figures and compares the 'tone' of Australian religious practices with those of other countries. Australians might be less vocal and more reticent about their religion than Americans are, but their religious and spiritual beliefs are no less potent. Australian Soul describes and analyses our religious and spiritual life in detail as well as providing a series of case studies that illustrate the range of practices and beliefs in Australia today. Australian Soul predicts a vital future for religion and spirituality.
The Psychology of Religion
The Psychology of Religion is alive and well (as it has been for almost three-quarters of a century since religion came off the psychological taboo list in the 1950s). And much has been written and researched about the field during this passage of time. Among those playing an active part has been H. Newton Malony. As a clinical psychologist as well as an ordained clergy-person, he has brought the informed perspective of both Christian theology and the social/behavioral science to the psychology of religion. This volume is a compilation of some of his reflections as he taught graduate students, supervised research, and engaged in psychotherapy in the years leading up to his retirement in 1996.
