Human Nature
Malcolm Jeeves, former editor-in-chief of Neuropsychologia, a leading international scientific journal in behavioral and cognitive neuroscience, explores the intersection of science and faith in defining what it means to be human. He reports on recent scientific research on consciousness and the link between mind, brain, and behavior. He examines issues such as determinism by indicating the possible relevance of chaos theory to enduring concerns about freedom and responsibility. He looks at similarities and differences between human nature and animal nature. He reexamines traditional dualist views of soul and body in the light of contemporary research on mind and brain and argues for a wholistic model. This leads to addressing questions such as: does spiritual awareness depend on the intactness of our brains or does spirituality stand apart from our biological substrate?

Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity, Fourth Edition
Since the first edition of Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity was published in 2004, this has become the standard textbook on the topic.

Psychology and Spiritual Formation in Dialogue
Can the phenomena of the human mind be separated from the practices of spiritual formation? Research into the nature of moral and spiritual change has revived in recent years in both the worlds of psychology and theology. Rooted in a year-long discussion held by Biola University's Center for Christian Thought (CCT), this volume bridges the gaps caused by professional specialization among psychology, theology, and philosophy.
Psychology and Christianity
"This book about what psychologists have discovered and what Christians believe. Often there seems to be a conflict between the two. Some popular writers appear to suggest that man is nothing but a highly developed animal, a complex computer or a conditioned automaton. The author believes that psychology and religion, properly understood, are allies rather than enemies. He aims to change attitudes or suspicion and hostility into mutual respect. He has planned the book so that it will be helpful to the non-specialist as well as to those studying for degrees in psychology or one of the behavioural sciences." - Publishes
Psychology in the Spirit
Can real change happen in the human soul? Is it possible to have truly healthy relationships? Is psychology something that can help us see reality as God sees it? John H. Coe and Todd W. Hall tackle these and other provocative questions in this next volume of the Christian Worldview Integration Series which offers an introduction to a new approa...
The Rebuilding of Psychology
Dr. Gary R. Collins provides an overview and evaluation of the field of contemporary psychology, and identifies the presuppositions that underlie this discipline. As a Christian, he looks beyond the dilemmas of modern psychology and sees hope -- for humanity and for "the science of human behavior." The Rebuilding of Psychology makes a bold proposal for rebuilding psychology on the theistic premise that "God exists and is the source of all truth." - Back cover.
