Personality Type & Scripture: Mark

Description

Applying personality-type theory to study the way we read the Scriptures, this book asks questions such as why people disagree about Scripture? and why, when two people are asked what they find of importance in a Bible passage, are they likely to give different answers? Using the Myers Briggs Type Indicator to analyze possible responses to St Mark's Gospel, Leslie Francis seeks to show how, in finding our own preferred pattern of spirituality, we can not only broaden and deepen our understanding of the Gospels, but also increase our sensitivity to other people.

Leslie J. Frances is D.J.James Professor of Pastoral Theology and Trinity College, Carmarthen, and University of Wales, Lampeter, UK. He is an Anglican priest, a Fellow of the British Psychological Society and a qualified practitioner of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.
