In this insightful book, accounts of voice hearers are presented, evaluated and interpreted by a Christian theologian and psychiatrist.
By listening to the first-hand experiences of voice hearers and evaluating them in the light of Christian theology, the book enables the reader to understand the experiences of voice hearers as a part of Christian experience and to engage with the theological issues raised by them, including the nature of revelation.
This engaging and thought-provoking collection looks at a range of stories – ranging from comforting to complex to simply conversational – to encourage debate and search for meaning and also show how the reader can adapt clinical and pastoral practice to better aid people in this situation.
