Book excerpt: “Christian psychology is not a knowledge of man, but a knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Oswald Chambers begins The Psychology of Redemption with these bold words, challenging us to take the perfect life of Jesus Christ as our model for holy character development. Jesus restored humanity to a right relationship with God, and He demonstrated the holy mind-set of a life set apart to the mission of God’s love. By drawing parallels between the life of Christ and the Christian’s life of faith, Chambers teaches us how to “have the mind of Christ.”
