The Enlightened Christian : Infinite Passion Publishing : 9780965299640 : 0965299643 : 06 Apr 2015 : The basic ideas of the Bible can be viewed as psychological in nature. Knowing our inner psychology is key to understanding them, according to author Michael Roden, who has studied both psychology and theology. They are meant to be personally experienced-not just thought about but rather to become part of oneself. In fact, they are natural to us, ready and able to be realized, but our theology has tended to block them from our awareness. This is the provocative idea behind this book, which systematically, explains the conceptual and spiritual elements of the Bible-from the original creation to the end of the world. The Enlightened Christian: A Psychological Interpretation of the Bible by Michael Roden contains an enhanced understanding of such concepts as sin, salvation, hell, Heaven, and predestination.
