Summary: A hard look at alternative salvations
Comment: As in Dr. Cox's past books, he rings the bell again with Sacrament of Psychology. His experience and background in both theology and psychology allows him to move effortlessly - but mindfully - between both disciplines. An illuminating read for anyone who wants to turn a critical eye to our present cultural assumptions about the nature of the human being and our hope.

Summary: Sacrament of Psychology
Comment: This is a book which should be read by theologians and psychologists although it is not too kind to either. The premise of the book is sound and could cause either theologians or psychologists to choose a defensive posture. However, if the book is read carefully one will see the quarrel is a lover's quarrel by one who believes either discipline could be better than it is. This is not an easy book to read and it needs a careful reading in order to get the full impact. Of course, I think I like the book because he underscores and highlights my own bias. I'm sure I will re-read it.

Summary: SACRAMENT ??? Maybe. Let's think about it !!
Comment: You'll probably swing two ways (at least) before a firm opinion sets in. Keep the possibilities open -- a second reading after a reasonable time has elapsed could change your opinion. Are we really considering a church (a relatively small building with a congregation of friends almost all of whom we know) "THE" CHURCH (whatever big organization of which we are a small part) or just (me, myself, and how I relate to 'my' religion / theology)? Or all the above.?

Let your reaction be reactions. Let the ideas, new and old, stir and mix. As you consider the thoughts being presented, know that you will be more aware of a myriad of new possibilities in your life, and how you can use new ideas, the jargon, and the theology you choose to believe to guide yourself in appropriate living.

It's a complicated, challenging, book. You don't have to grasp all the meaning and subtlties at first reading.
