Questions and Responses

Question: Why is the Bible silent about mental illness except for speaking of demon-possessed persons? Could you address this subject?

Question: My daughter, who is a committed Christian, is a high school junior who would like to attend a Christian university and major in counseling....Could you recommend a good school for her?

Question: You say...we esteem ourselves too much. Yet Jesus Christ said, "Love your neighbor as yourself"...and many preachers teach [the need for] self-esteem and self-love. Who are you to disagree?

Question: You confuse me. You seem to be very much opposed to psychology yet you quote some psychologists favorably and seem to rely upon the research that psychologists supply.

Question: Are the techniques used on people in psychotherapy reliable?

Question: What do you think about the teaching that we all hate ourselves and have to learn to love ourselves?

Question: The enclosed article...blatantly states that the Bible “alone is insufficient” and elevates what it calls “natural revelation” to the level of Scripture....Could you comment?

Question: I have enjoyed your books and also your column in The Berean Call. There is a phrase, however, that you use regularly that I feel is not exactly a proper use. The phrase is “Christian psychology” or “Christian psychologist.”...

Question: While I agree with you that psychology has created more problems for the church than anyone could number, nevertheless I think there are some areas of the field that can be helpful. What do you think?

Question: Would you please respond to CRI’s Journal articles on biblical counseling by the Passantinos? Thank you!
