Abstract: | This brief article introduces the three articles diagnosing God by Helsel, Capps, and Carlin as examples of a skeptical strain
that has been present throughout Judeo–Christian history, suggesting that psychology as an “interrogative” mode is a necessary
counterpoint to theology’s dogmatic mode. The three articles are recommended on the basis of their heuristic value for instruction
about mental illness, their playfulness and humor, and their potential for reshaping traditional images of God that have been
harmful. |
