9.0 out of 10.0
William J. Luke offers, Actual Biblical Psychology: The Truly Authoritative Approach to Treating People – “as opposed to the integration of mainstream psychology with Christian theology.” ~ This is the direct quote from the author’s Amazon page describing his book.
Dividing the person into four categories, the author offers a truthful “radical” presentation of Biblical psychology through the lens of the Bible. Different personalities come, yet a person has different parts to their psychological make-up. A person has a mind, heart, body, a will and a soul (5 parts). Bringing a concise description of different conceptualizations within the individual, the author shines a light on a Biblical approach that does not combine secular psychology with a Christian point of view. He also uses the KJV “because the accuracy and consistency of this version proves that it alone is the true English translation of the Bible.” ~ William J. Luke
The author has a lot to say about the person: mind, heart, body, a person’s will and soul. However, using the five Biblical principles of Biblical psychology, William J. Luke systematically gives understanding through this lens of intertwining scriptural presentation. Readers will come to understand the responses of a person, the types of love language, essential and detrimental factors to development, consideration method, attachment styles, responses to God’s Word, belief and non-biased behavior styles, including biases on different levels, offers treatments, and spiritual development – all as factors to be considered in the application of the Biblical authoritative approach to treating people.
One man stated in his book review that he had wasted 20 years of time and money on Christian and secular psychologists, stating that this book solved his issues with the way he behaved and why he was so discontent with himself. That is an amazing testimony to this book.
The author has done through research of the Bible, giving readers the Biblical answers to their problems. I find this to be an innovative, truthful, and scriptural insight into the make-up of mankind and mankind’s psyche based on Biblical principles that cannot be overlooked.
A must-read for all those looking to heal their mind, will, heart, and emotions through Biblical principles.
