On this side of the cross misery persists, but the scales are tipped in favor of joy.

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.
