A Biblical Perspective

Congregations have a history of marginalizing people with mental illness, often using passages from the Bible to justify this behavior. The Mental Health Resource offers a reinterpretation of these Bible passages that reflects modern understandings of mental illness, followed by a call to provide support and aid to people with mental illness. This theological reframing of mental health and illness is a transformative guide to offering belonging to those whose disability leaves them isolated and alone.
