Listen "Nature, Nurture, and the Soul: A Christian Take on Psychology (Worldview Study Part 7)"
Episode Synopsis
"The Christian view of persons requires that we have some degree of responsibility in life, but it does not require that we act without influence upon our choice."
Part 7 of our worldview study delves into "Psychology: A Student's Guide" by Stanton L. Jones. This helpful guide examines the study of psychology from a distinctly Christian perspective, introducing readers to key issues such as the origins of morality, nature vs. nurture, the relationship between the mind and the brain, and the concept of personal identity.
Stanton L. Jones (PhD, Arizona State University) is provost and professor of psychology at Wheaton College. He has written numerous books and articles on the interface of the science and profession of psychology with Christianity.
Join the conversation as we see how the Christian intellectual tradition shapes our understanding of what it means to be human. As always, bring your questions! I will be taking questions and calls after the teaching.
