Hell and Madness, Grace and Sanity: The True Biblical Basis for Mental Health

Explains why the gospel is essential to mental health. Draws from many sources including the work of Freud, Jung, cognitive psychology, astrology, and psychotic phenomena to make the case that humans have inborn knowledge that their imperfection, or sin, separates them from God eternally, destining them for "outer darkness," i.e., the price for sin is death. This knowledge produces that guilt that underlies psychopathology, cured only by internalization of total forgiveness found only in the God of the Bible, who literally paid the penalty for human sin by proxy with the sacrificed Christ. Contains a revised DSM looking at the various mental disorders as manifestations of the same basic conflict.
