About this Item

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Why do people with genuine faith not just believe differently, but reason and respond differently That question drove Chris L Abreo to spend years developing a framework that no existing theology or psychology had fully mapped.In SOLIDUS, Abreo proposes that the human mind operates through two distinct but complementary functions: Logic (objective, sequential, fact-based) and Intuition (subjective, holistic, truth-based). When these are integrated and directed upward toward God through Purpose, a person develops Wisdom and Grace. When Purpose turns inward toward self, the same mental architecture produces Foolishness and Disgrace, often without the individual realizing the inversion has occurred.Building from his own experience, including years in braces after a childhood accident that threatened amputation and a healing he credits to faith and persistent human effort, Abreo constructs the Human Understanding and Human Devotion (HUHD) Model. The framework maps individual reasoning onto social, political, and ecclesiastical behavior, showing how Conservative and Liberal impulses, Western and Eastern Christianity, and the institutions of Church and State each occupy a specific and necessary position within God's design.This is not a devotional. It is a structured, scripturally grounded model that gives readers a precise vocabulary for understanding why people think, divide, and act as they do, and what it looks like when a life is genuinely oriented toward God rather than merely performing that orientation.For anyone who has sensed that faith and reason belong together but lacked the frame work to show how, SOLIDUS offers a rigorous, accessible answer.

About this title

Synopsis

Science finds that the reasoning process involving the left brain of humans is objectively driven, while the right brain is subjectively driven. While keeping this in mind, as aspects of Sigmund Freud's model of the human psyche are discussed in relation to the fullness of Biblical Truth, an insightful look about the relationship between thought and behavior can be explored.

SOLIDUS illustrates how the pinnacle for human understanding can only be achieved by the arisen state - that is, the arisen state of mind. The process for arising as such is long-term and cannot be achieved without the grace of God. As the result of one's response in faith, God-consciousness is attained, and so is liberty.

With the second edition of SOLIDUS, as rewritten and expanded, I draw solely upon the King James Version of the Bible to guide our discussion. As it relates to how the "balance of mind" is described, I also transition from Intellect and Beliefs in the original version over to Logic and Intuition.

Written largely in academic style this book will appeal to those logically-inclined seeking for deeper meanings as to why faith in God through Jesus Christ is the good and logical choice. Even understandings that have been deemed by society as separate matters of human discourse, such as Church and State, are discussed in tandem and with balance.
