This is one of the great blessings of the fear of the Lord. We think less often about ourselves. When a heart is being filled with the greatness of God, there is less room for the question, “What are people going to think of me?”

Edward Welch
Der US-amerikanische Psychologe und Theologe Edward T. Welch lehrt seit 1981 an der Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation sowie am Westminster Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania. Er gilt als einflussreiche Stimme der biblisch-reformierten Seelsorgebewegung zu Themen wie Depression, Scham und Angst, wobei die Skepsis dieses Ansatzes gegenüber säkularen psychiatrischen Modellen fachlich debattiert wird. Bibellesern vermitteln seine Schriften eine seelsorgliche Lebenshilfe, die emotionale Nöte und zwischenmenschliche Konflikte aus einer dezidiert biblischen Perspektive deutet.
