SEPF 913  Psychological Perspectives of Biblical Stories

This course is designed as a pastoral counseling elective, focusing on the interests of students in the MAPC program, but it is also open to others with some background in psychology and an interest in exploring the psychological models in Biblical stories. The course will focus on the stories found in Genesis and the New Testament, especially the Gospel of Matthew. We will examine the psychoanalytic model, especially the work of Carl Jung. The class will focus on stories, parables, myths, dreams, spiritual formation and development, healing and wholeness, and the shadow. Models will be discussed from both a theological perspective and a psychological perspective, using clinical cases and Biblical stories as the bridge.
