1st Century vs 21st Century

Does mental health care contradict the Bible? Would Jesus approve of mental health therapy? Am I violating my faith by participating in counseling? And the ultimate question is, can Jesus and mental health services coexist? These questions are more prevalent in the church today as we see our first-century beliefs clashing with twenty-first-century science. This book attempts to answer these questions from a biblical and psychosocial scientific perspective. A psychiatrist, Dr. Neil Anderson, tries to bridge the gap: “We must realize that we are not only physical but also spiritual beings."

Therefore, some conditions (mental illness) are psychological, and some are spiritual.” If this is true, our spirituality and our emotional and mental health are essential for life’s balance. Unfortunately, many of us will go and go, to the detriment of our mental and physical health. This book looks at ways to help people with anxiety, grief, and depression from a spiritual perspective. We look at Jesus’ interactions and therapeutic approaches to help individuals get spiritual and emotional healing. It also includes mindfulness exercises and self-care tips to help our overall mental health.
