(Course Preview) Psychology from a Christian Perspective

Description
This is a preview of the larger course, Psychology from a Christian Perspective, however it is beneficial as a stand-alone introduction to the topic of how to understand the soft science of psychology from a protestant Christian worldview. Students taking a psychology course at a secular university or really any Christian interested in psychology will find this course interesting and useful!
Can Christians study or utilize psychology? Do psychological studies help us understand the Bible or vice versa? There are many heated opinions on how Christianity and psychology relate or do not relate to each other. In this video, we will clear up some of the misunderstandings concerning what psychology is and isn't and how a Christian can faithfully and biblically engage with the soft science of psychology.
In this course, we will discuss the following topics:
What is Psychology?
The Benefits & Limitations of Psychology
The Foundations of Psychology

A 35 Minute downloadable video lecture
