Psychology of the Fruit of the Spirit, The : The Biblical Portrayal of the Christlike Character and its development
Outline: For centuries, the fruit of the Spirit has rightfully served as a wellspring of reflection on the virtues that epitomize the Christian life and character-building. However, the notion of the fruit of the Spirit is not limited solely to forming the biblical foundation of ethical living. Psychologist and theologian Zoltán Dörnyei argues that if we understand the nine attributes collectively as a concise portrayal of the ideal Christian self, this approach places the notion of the fruit of the Spirit at the intersection of several important theological themes, such as being conformed to the divine image, the gradual advancement of the kingdom of God, and new creation. Zoltan Dornyei's integrative approach helps uncover the full meaning and theological potential of the fruit of the Spirit by clarifying the nature of its nine facets, defining broader psychological dimensions that underlie the fruit, and offering practical lessons for cultivating the fruit in the Christian life.
