Blame It On the Brain?

Edward T. Welch is a counselor and faculty member at the Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation (CCEF). He is author of a number of books, including When People Are Big and God Is Small and Addictions: A Banquet in the Grave.

Ed Welch’s careful biblical and scientific scholarship is a model to be emulated, especially in his chapters on homosexuality and alcoholism. While he has not written the final word on the interaction between the brain and the soul, he has forged a work that has a strong theoretical base and eminently practical application. Christians who personally of professionally face or discuss these problems in themselves or others must study and contend with this book. -- Franklin E.(Ed) Payne, M.D., Associate Professor of Family Medicine, Augusta Health Sciences University (retired); primary author, 1988 PCA Report on Heroic Measures
