Announcing the First Distinctively Christian Introductory Psychology
Textbook in 60 Years and the First Ever for Christian High School students. Psychology: A Christian Perspective, High
School Edition.
Blue Ridge, GA (January 7, 2013). Every year thousands of Christian students
leave home for college. When they arrive, they will probably take an
Introductory Psychology class. For most, it will be their
first exposure to Psychology.
Dr. Tim Rice, LPC,
author of Psychology: A Christian
Perspective, High School Edition, thinks that is risky. “Surveys suggest
that as many as 75% of Christian students ‘walk away’ from their faith within
12 months of entering college.” Dr. Rice states, “if that statistic is
accurate, and if it has anything to do with the teaching in college, it is
because Christian students are unprepared for the worldview challenges embedded
in modern Psychology’s theories and schools-of-thought.”
Why are Christian students
unprepared? Dr. Rice states, “Among Christians, Psychology is controversial and
our disagreements are often contentious. Many Christians see Psychology as an
idolatrous and ungodly rival religion and are concerned
that there is no room for faith in its study. Some have called Psychology ‘the
great seduction in preparation for the antichrist.’ Others believe that God
created Psychology when He created Man and that we have a duty to study it.” According
to Rice, “because the disagreements about Psychology are so contentious, no one
has taken on the task of covering this subject at the worldview level,
especially in a way that supports high school students, until now.”
Psychology: A Christian Perspective, High School Edition offers a comprehensive overview of Psychology. It is appropriate
for high school students -- challenging, but understandable, with interesting
case studies and examples. It has 15 chapters, 265 pages, review questions at
the end of each chapter, and a free download Teachers’ Guide with fill-in-the-blank
quizzes with answers, and links to information for further study.
Whatever
you think about Psychology, the time to deal with it is before your student
goes to college. Psychology: A Christian Perspective, High School Edition equips
parents and teachers to help students to recognize psychology-specific
worldview issues, and to introduce them to the study of the wonders of the
God’s greatest creation; the human mind.
