PsychoHeresy: The Psychological Seduction of Christianity

Almost everywhere one turns in the church one sees psychology. The psychologizing of Christianity has reached epidemic proportions. It is has permeated churches, denominations, Bible colleges, seminaries, mission agencies and Christian media. It is everywhere, from psychologized sermons to psychologized persons. However, the psychologizing of the church is neither biblically nor scientifically justifiable. Beneath all the biblical reasons why Christians should not pursue psychotherapy and its underlying psychologies is this one fact: The use of psychotherapy and its underlying psychologies denies the sufficiency of Scripture for the issues of life normally taken to a psychotherapist. This book demonstrates the fact that psychological explanations about life and psychological solutions to life’s problems are questionable at best, detrimental at worst, and spiritual counterfeits at least. The well-documented seventeen chapters include such titles as “History of Psychotherapy,” “Psychotherapy Is Pseudoscience,” “Psychotherapy Is Religion,” “Self-Centered Gospel of Psychology,” “Amalgamania,” and “Broken Cisterns or Living Waters?”
