Measurement at the Interface of Psychiatry and Religion: Issues and Existing Measures
Peter C. Hill
Chapter 3.7
Religion (and spirituality) is very much alive and shapes the cultural values and aspirations of psychiatrist and patient alike, as does the choice of not identifying with a particular faith. Patients bring their beliefs and convictions into the doctor-patient relationship. The challenge for mental health professionals, whatever their own world view, is to develop and refine their vocabularies such that they truly understand what is communicated to them by their patients. Religion and Psychiatryprovides psychiatrists with a framework for this understanding and highlights the importance of religion and spirituality in mental well-being.
This book aims to inform and explain, as well as to be thought provoking and even controversial. Patiently and thoroughly, the authors consider why and how, when and where religion (and spirituality) are at stake in the life of psychiatric patients. The interface between psychiatry and religion is explored at different levels, varying from daily clinical practice to conceptual fieldwork. The book covers phenomenology, epidemiology, research data, explanatory models and theories. It also reviews the development of DSM V and its awareness of the importance of religion and spirituality in mental health.
What can religious traditions learn from each other to assist the patient? Religion and Psychiatry discusses this, as well as the neurological basis of religious experiences. It describes training programmes that successfully incorporate aspects of religion and demonstrates how different religious and spiritual traditions can be brought together to improve psychiatric training and daily practice.
- Describes the relationship of the main world religions with psychiatry
- Considers training, policy and service delivery
- Provides powerful support for more effective partnerships between psychiatry and religion in day to day clinical care
This is the first time that so many psychiatrists, psychologists and theologians from all parts of the world and from so many different religious and spiritual backgrounds have worked together to produce a book like this one. In that sense, it truly is a World Psychiatric Association publication.
Religion and Psychiatry is recommended reading for residents in psychiatry, postgraduates in theology, psychology and psychology of religion, researchers in psychiatric epidemiology and trans-cultural psychiatry, as well as professionals in theology, psychiatry and psychology of religion

Psychology of religious fundamentalism
Peter C. Hill
This book presents a new psychological framework for understanding religious fundamentalism, one that distinguishes fundamentalist traditions from other faith-based groups and helps explain the thinking and behavior of believers. Steering clear of stereotypes, the highly regarded authors offer respectful, historically informed examinations of several major fundamentalist groups. Focusing primarily on Protestant sects, including the Church of God (a Pentecostal denomination), the serpent handling sects of Appalachia, and the Amish, the book also discusses Islamic fundamentalism. Addressed are such key themes as the role of the sacred text within fundamentalism; how beliefs and practices that many find difficult to comprehend actually fit into coherent meaning systems; and how these meaning systems help meet individuals' needs for purpose, value, and self-worth.

Social psychology of justice and forgiveness in civil and organizational settings
Peter C. Hill
Chapter 29
There is a need in both public and professional sectors for a deeper, and more complete understanding of forgiveness, as we are - in the author's own words - "on the threshold of an age of forgiveness and reconciliation." And yet despite continued interest and development in the field, researchers, clinicians, practitioners, and academics have long been without a comprehensive resource on which to base their work. The Handbook of Forgiveness summarizes the state of the science in the research, practice, and teaching of forgiveness. Chapters approach forgiveness and reconciliation from a variety of perspectives, drawing on related work in fields such as biology, personality, social psychology, clinical psychology, developmental psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, and international/political implications. The Handbook provides comprehensive treatments of the topic, integrating theoretical considerations, methodological discussions, and practical interventions strategies in order to appeal to researchers, clinicians, and practitioners. This volume is the most up-to-date and authoritative resource on the understanding of the science of forgiveness.

2 Corinthians

2 Corinthians
Moyer V. Hubbard
Even in the first century, church life could be messy. Just ask Paul and the Corinthians. Though the apostle had previously addressed problems at the church in Corinth in person and by letter, troubling issues remained. Arrogant and overbearing false teachers, factions, and disloyalty to Paul and the true gospel were just some of the issues plaguing the church. Second Corinthians speaks into this situation, pleading for church members to be reconciled and restored to one another, to Paul, and to God. The letter also addresses important topics such as pastoral integrity, comfort in suffering, strength in weakness, the true source of boasting, sexual purity, and Christian generosity. Dr. Hubbard applies a keen eye to the original situation and helps the modern teacher make the connection to today on these still-relevant issues for church health and mission.

Verbal aspect theory and the prohibitions in the Greek New Testament
Douglas S. Huffman
The end of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first centuries have involved much discussion on overhauling and refining a scholarly understanding of the verbal system for first-century Greek. These discussions have included advances in verbal aspect theory and other linguistic approaches to describing the grammatical phenomena of ancient languages. This volume seeks to apply some of that learning to the narrow realm of how prohibitions were constructed in the first-century Greek of the New Testament. Part 1 «The Great Prohibition Debate» seeks to demonstrate that verbal aspect theory has a better explanation than traditional Aktionsart theory for authorial choices between the negated present imperative and the negated aorist subjunctive in expressing prohibitions in the Greek New Testament. Part 2 «All the Prohibitions in the Greek NT» continues to examine prohibitions, but is more of an exercise in functional linguistics. That is, rather than apply verbal aspect theory to the grammar of prohibition constructions, Part 2 seeks only to survey the (initially surprising) wide variety of ways prohibitions can be expressed in koine Greek: more than a dozen different constructions. To do this, the NT prohibitions are grouped in their varying grammatical-syntactical and/or pragmatic constructions, all of which function – in varying degrees – in a prohibitory fashion. This taxonomy may prove to be the beginnings of further investigations into how biblical Greek communicates commands.

What Does It Mean to Be Chosen? : an Interactive Bible Study
Douglas S. Huffman
This is the official companion study to season 1 of The Chosen, the groundbreaking television series about the life of Jesus.
What Does It Mean to Be Chosen? parallels each episode, connecting readers to the Bible in a brand-new way. It includes:- A deeper look at Isaiah 43 and its fulfillment in Jesus and the lives of His followers (including us!)
- Script excerpts, quotes, and illustrations from the show
- Guiding questions for groups or individuals
Being chosen by Jesus has beautiful and far-reaching implications—although it says even more about the Chooser than the chooses. We are loved because He is love. We are saved because He is merciful. We belong to the family of God because Jesus invites us, making the Bible and all its promises as true for us today as it was for God’s chosen people.
What does it actually mean to be Chosen? To answer that question, we’re going Old school—Testament that is—which leads us back to the New. Which always leads us directly to Jesus. -
Behind the Veil: Living Within the Revealed Wisdom of God Paperback
Cliff Hulling
Shortly before Jesus died on the cross, the Judean governor Pilate mocked the concept of finding an exclusive set of facts that would be applicable to all mankind. He did so with the simple yet provocative and sarcastic statement, “what is truth?” (John 18:38) This taunt has continued down through the ages. In modern times, absolute truth is a touchy subject in our current climate of moral relativism. But there is no getting around it: the bible claims that such truth exists. Jesus was straightforward with Pilate, telling him, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice” (John 18:37). Instead of “what is truth?”, Pilate’s question should have been “what if it’s true?” God welcomes open-minded questions. In fact, honest questions are part of human nature and God’s Word holds up to scrutiny. Honest would be the key word here, because many people come to the bible with incorrect and immovable preconceived notions. Others will not even make time to check out the truth of Christianity. Are you an honest seeker? Would you like to open-mindedly examine the scandalous yet wonderful claims found in the Bible? If so, then you are ready to peer behind the veil and into the revealed wisdom of God.

The Chosen Path of the Beatitudes
Cliff Hulling
Jesus delivers the radical claim that people who are “poor in spirit” are actually “blessed” (Matthew 5:3). How right He was, because this is the first crucial step in the chosen path of the beatitudes. He then continues a sermon that actually reveals a vital progression that helps establish a deeper relationship with our Creator. The spiritual path of the Beatitudes is prescribed for all, but must be chosen by each individual. God does not coerce; He calls. And the journey He calls us to is certainly one worth choosing. Why should we resist the comforting call of Jesus? “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy an.d My burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30) That’s a deal worth taking. Honest seekers of truth - pack up your gear…we’re following Jesus down the path of the Beatitudes
