About this listen

Psychology and Christianity are often perceived as incompatible—or so claim a considerable number of authors known for their anti-psychology rhetoric. Their argument rests on the belief that only special revelation, as found in the Bible, is valid for understanding the human mind. Through this narrative, they have persuaded millions of people that it is impossible to address emotional problems through psychology. Instead, they reject psychological approaches outright, promoting the idea that the Bible alone provides answers to every human problem.

In my experience with fundamentalist Christians, I have observed many deeply involved in evangelism and church leadership while privately struggling with paranoid fears, sexual dysfunctions, domestic violence, identity conflicts, self-esteem issues, and more. Despite these personal challenges, they continue to insist that “Jesus is their best psychologist” or that “spiritual life is enough.” Yet, they remain trapped in the inconsistency of lives marked by profound emotional turmoil.

Miguel Ángel Núñez, PhD, a couples therapist, family specialist, international speaker, and author, expands his extensive literary work with this book. Here, he explores the enduring debate on whether psychology and spirituality can be integrated. The goal is not to provoke controversy but to reflect on the cognitive dissonance displayed by many who believe psychology is unnecessary and that Jesus, prayer, and Bible reading alone are sufficient. Confronted with this reality, I have often exclaimed, “What a poor psychologist Jesus must be!”—as they continue to wrestle with fears, anxieties, interpersonal conflicts, and countless other struggles.

This book delves into precisely that—a candid and thoughtful examination of an issue that is frequently overlooked.
