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.

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.
