Biblical view of self-esteem, self-love, self-image, The
Book Description
In an era where self-help movements dominate both secular and religious conversations, many believers find themselves caught between competing messages about personal worth and identity. Jay Edward Adams tackles this complex terrain by examining whether the church's embrace of self-esteem psychology aligns with biblical teaching.
Adams challenges readers to consider fundamental questions that shape human existence: Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? Rather than accepting popular answers rooted in self-focused philosophies, he invites believers to explore what Scripture actually reveals about human nature and personal value.
This examination arrives at a crucial time when concepts like self-image, self-worth, and self-love have gained significant influence within Christian communities. Adams suggests that the widespread battle against low self-esteem may have led believers away from their authentic position in Christ toward potentially problematic territory.
Through careful biblical analysis, Adams offers an alternative perspective on how Christians should understand themselves. Instead of adopting secular psychology's emphasis on self-enhancement, he presents what he considers a genuinely scriptural approach to personal identity and worth.
For believers wrestling with questions of identity, purpose, and value, this work provides a thoughtful counterpoint to prevailing cultural messages. Adams encourages readers to ground their understanding of self not in popular psychology but in biblical revelation, offering clarity for those seeking authentic spiritual perspective on personal worth.
