Mapping the Fall: Understanding Narcissism

Authors

  • Bruce Stevens St Marks National Theological Centre, Canberra

Abstract

Sometimes the most committed Christians are the most psychologically disturbed. It is possible to combine a lively faith and yet be almost totally blind about personal limitations-even glaringly obvious defects. Psychologists call this a lack of insight. I would like to introduce and then explore the area of what I call 'unconscious sin'
