Here is a groundclearing work with the first comprehensive bibliography of the field in English. As the subtitle indicates, the book first surveys past research and then plots out a recommended course for the discipline. The first section is an inclusive survey of the diverse psychological approaches to Scripture from precursors in the early church to the developed approaches of the present. The implications of the researches of Freud, Jung, and the post-Freudians for biblical studies are carefully explored, along with studies of biblical scholars who have employed psychological approaches. Rollins seeks to establish an agenda for psychological criticism as a discipline with biblical studies. Major issues and concerns are addressed and explained in a perceptive and understandable manner.
Wayne G. Rollins is Professor of Theology and Coordinator of the Graduate Program in Theology, Assumption Colllege, Worcester, Mass. In addition to numerous articles, he is the author of The Gospels: Portraits of Christ (1964) and Jung and the Bible (1983).
