Connecting Neuroscience to the Bible

Herausgeber: Fox, Cosette

Beschreibung

Centered around integrating Christian faith into neuroscience and psychology, What is God's Design for Your Brain? Connecting Neuroscience to the Bible presents an analysis of brain, mind, and behavior from a biblical perspective. The text explores contemporary topics within these fields, focusing on what constitutes health and maladaptation in terms of neuroscientific evidence contrasted with scriptural interpretations. Opening chapters address the history of the relationship between psychology and religion with emphasis on Christianity and neurotheology; basic neuroscience concepts and neuroplasticity; and the effects of prayer and spirituality on the brain with emphasis on mindfulness meditation. Additional chapters cover the effects of growth mindset and grit; environmental enrichment; fear, stress, and anxiety; substance use; and diet and gut health on the brain. The book emphasizes the psychological dimensions of religious experience and connects each concept with biblical doctrine to provide readers with a holistic perspective combining faith, neuroscience, and psychology. Providing students with an interdisciplinary approach coupling scientific findings with theological insight, What is God's Design for Your Brain? is ideal for courses in psychology, neuroscience, and neurotheology.
