About this blog
Posted on April 25, 2007
Welcome to the occasional blog of the Society for Christian Psychology. A few key Society members have agreed to share their ideas about the task and future of Christian Psychology. Each month we’ll feature one author who will blog on some their new ideas. The beauty of the Society is that its members range from practicing counselors to academics; from theologians and philosophers to clinical psychologists and biblical counselors. Though we may approach the task of a Christian Psychology from different starting points, we remain united in our quest to understand how the Christian story and faith shape our work with the people God has placed in our lives. Feel free to submit comments or questions to the bloggers as you have interest.
New blog entries and short bios for each blogger will appear shortly.
