| Summary: | The negative cognitive effects of depression often distort one’s beliefs about self, God, and the world. Approaches to educational ministry that primarily seek to correct erroneous beliefs are not only ineffective but reflect a flawed view of sanctification, which puts the onus on depression sufferers. Developing a clear theological vision for educational ministry in light of depression is critical to avoid such misguided approaches. Grounding the teaching ministry of the church in the vicarious humanity of Jesus Christ, the author calls Christian educators toward a worshipful mode of educational ministry that bears witness to the perfectly believing mind of Christ. |
