Xulon Press presents fascinating Christian Theology, a must-have
read for today's counselors, chaplains, preachers, teachers, youth
leaders or anyone interested in what God reveals in Scripture about
human nature.
RUSSELLEVILLE, Ark.,
July 18,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Author Dr. Don Ott provides readers with a
thought-provoking exploration in Biblical Psychology For End-Time
Believers: Human Nature Revealed by God in Scripture ($16.49, paperback, 9781662877988; $6.99, e-book, 9781662877995).
Many today are unaware that psychology
originated within Christian theology, not as a secular
discipline.
With over 55 years as an ordained Bible preacher and teacher, in
addition to 35 years as a licensed psychologist, Dr. Ott was
perfectly qualified to tackle such an enlightening Biblical
exploration into the true beginnings of psychology. As he
insightfully points out, Franz Delitzsch wrote A System of Biblical
Psychology in 1855 and called it "one of the oldest sciences of the
church." Then, in 1912, Oswald
Chambers published lectures making him the last definitive
spokesman for Biblical psychology before secular psychology
displaced it.
Dr. Ott's fascinating book traces seven stages of mankind from
original creation to eternal glorification, outlining what God
reveals in Scripture about human nature. While his content is
scholarly enough for a textbook, readers can rest assured that the
theological principles are written and presented from the
perspective of a mental healthcare provider, not intricate case
studies or personality theory. According to Dr. Ott, Heinroth,
Delitzsch, Nee, and Chambers will be introduced to terminal
generation readers, and with Christ's return closer than ever, the
need to understand human behavior has never been more urgent.
When asked what inspired the author to write this book, Dr. Ott
said, "I was first introduced to Biblical psychology in the 1980s
while earning a doctorate in psychology. My research continued
during 35 years of clinical practice and culminated in 18 months of
preparing the manuscript for publication in 2023. Many today are
unaware that psychology originated within Christian theology, not
as a secular discipline."
Dr. Don Ott is an ordained
evangelist and licensed psychologist. He holds a Bachelor of Sacred
Literature from Ozark Bible College
in Joplin, Missouri, a Bachelor of
Science in Psychology and Pre-Medicine from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and a Master's and Doctorate
in Clinical Psychology from Biola
University in La Mirada,
California. Dr. Ott has practiced in Russellville, Arkansas since 1987 and
established Christian Psychological Resources in 1994. He is a
charter member of the American Association of Christian Counselors.
Since ordination in 1968, he served on seven church staffs in
Arkansas, Oklahoma and California, and was adjunct professor at
Mid-South Christian College in Memphis,
Tennessee for 32 years. As a mental-health missionary, Dr.
Ott has made over 40 trips to 14 countries on six continents and
has directed Cuba Bible Institute in Havana since 2009. He specializes in Biblical
psychology, Christian counseling, and marriage and family life. Dr.
Ott and his wife, Johniece, have been married for 54 years. They
