Christianity & Psychoanalysis : A New Conversation

---

Overview: Unsuprisingly, given Sigmund Freud's understanding of religion, the conversation between Christianity and psychoanalysis has been long marked by mutual suspicion. Psychoanalysis originated within a naturalist, post-Enlightment context and sought to understand human functioning and pathology - focusing on phenomena such as the unconscious and object representation - on a strictly empirical basis. Given certain accounts of divine agency and human uniqueness, psychoanalytic work was often seen as competitive with a Christian understanding of the human person. The contributors to this book seek to start a new conversation. Aided by the turn to relationality in the theology, as well as by an noncompetitive conception of God's transcendence and agency, this book presents a fresh integration of Christian thought and psychoanalytic theory. This immanent processes identified by psychoanalysis need not compete with Christian theology but can instead be the very means by which God is involved in human existence. The Christian study of psychoanalysis can thus serve the flourishing of God's kingdom.
