Title: Self-actualization and the radical gospel
Description: "Can today's Christians reconcile a belief in self-actualization with the extreme ethical demands of the New Testament? The author argues that they can, although not easily, and that the felt uneasiness between two concerns - self-fulfillment and self-gift - may constitute a healthy tension. The book uncovers both the pitfalls of self-actualization and the misleading interpretations that have disfigured the radical Gospel. It highlights the stages, developmental factors, views of human life, successes and failures, which play a considerable role in a person's journey. It brings psychological, philosophical, biblical, theological, and pastoral clarifications to bear on the issues." [BOOK JACKET].
