Resurrection Psychology

Resurrection Psychology

By Margaret G. Alter

Book Description

Margaret G. Alter presents a groundbreaking integration of Christian faith and psychological practice in this thoughtful exploration of human nature and healing. Drawing from her dual expertise as both a practicing therapist and educator, Alter challenges the conventional assumption that therapeutic work must remain spiritually neutral.

This innovative approach examines how biblical wisdom and modern psychology can work together to create a more complete understanding of human personality and growth. Rather than viewing these fields as separate or conflicting, Alter demonstrates how they can enhance and inform each other in meaningful ways.

The book centers on Jesus' life and teachings as a practical model for understanding human behavior and transformation. Through careful analysis of ten major themes found in gospel narratives, Alter shows how ancient spiritual insights can illuminate and reshape contemporary psychological theories. Each theme is thoughtfully applied to modern individual experiences, creating bridges between timeless wisdom and present-day challenges.

Written for both mental health professionals and spiritual seekers, this work offers a fresh perspective on personal development that honors both psychological insight and Christian understanding. Alter's extensive clinical experience combined with her scholarly approach creates a resource that speaks to those seeking integration between their faith and their understanding of human nature.

For readers interested in exploring how spiritual principles can inform personal growth and healing, this book provides a compelling framework for understanding the intersection of psychology and Christianity.
