Kinghorn Publishes New Book, Casts a Christian Vision for Mental Health Care

Dr. Warren Kinghorn, M.D., Th.D., has written a new book, "Wayfaring: A Christian Approach to Mental Health Care," published July 11, 2024 by Eerdmans Publishing Co. In it, Kinghorn reviews the successes and limitations of modern mental health care before offering an alternative paradigm of healing. Based in the theology of Thomas Aquinas, this model of personhood affirms four truths: We are known and loved by God. We are creatures made of earth who are formed in community. We are wayfarers on a journey. We are called not to control, but to wonder, love, praise, and rest.
