520 |a Problem formation and its resolution is hypothesized to be similar in “process,” whether it is conceptualized in terms of sin and redemption or psychopathology and psychotherapy. Watzlawick, Weakland, and Fisch's (1974) systems theory explanation of problem formation and problem resolution is applied to the dilemmas facing the Apostle Paul prior to and throughout his conversion. His concept of attaining righteousness through conforming to the Law resulted in futile attempts at “more of the same,” resulting in a “game without end.” In order to change, a paradigm shift was required. The problem was reframed for him through his encounter with Christians and with Christ himself on the road to Damascus. He was placed in a “therapeutic double-bind,” making it possible for him to find the solution of righteousness through faith in Christ. Potential problems in the integration of biblical material and systems theory are also briefly examined.
