While using the historical thread as its guiding norm, it presents a dynamic model of selfhood which is psychologically astute, and philosophically and theologically relevant. It can be used as a text within the fields of psychology of religion, theology, psychology, and pastoral care and counseling. It offers these fields a solid grounding toward a unified and comprehensive approach to selfhood, while at the same time developing a framework for the divine-human interface.
