Crabb interprets the message of the cross according to his psychological ideas about the nature of man and how he changes. Confession is telling our stories and gaining insight into those wrong strategies.
Full repentance comes through getting in touch with the pain of the past.
Hence, the gospel message itself is directly tied to a psychological construct. Not only is the doctrine of man psychologized, but the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are made subservient to Crabb's psychospiritual theories. This book examines his writings from 1975 through 1997 to answer that question and determine the status of his approach to counseling and ministering the gospel of salvation and sanctification.
