Description: Three essays reflect the exploratory nature of Religion and Personality -- a field still in its infancy in divinity studies. Each of the eleven authors applies the insights of psychology, both theoretical and clinical, to important elements of Christian thought and religious meaning. New light is shed on such central concepts as faith, guilt and salvation. The relation between belief and myth is defined, and the old controversy about demythologization receives fresh impetus.
Notes: Bibliographical footnotes.
Many of the papers were first presented at the Alumni Conference of the Religion and Personality Field, Jan. 27-29, 1969, celebrating the 75th anniversary of the University of Chicago and the 100th anniversary of its Divinity School.
