A conversation about theology and psychology

Pastors know that religion and psychology are intimately connected: one’s own mental health has everything to do with pastoral care, while parishioners’ psychological make-up determine how committees get run. More and more behavioral psychology studies focus on how and why we worship, pray, or express our beliefs—and what happens in our brains when we do. 

But what about theology and psychology? Can these two very different fields of study talk to each other? What do theologians have to say to psychologists and vice versa?

On May 14 at 8 p.m. EST, the Century is cosponsoring an event with the Center of Theological Inquiry to explore these questions.
