PASTOR HAS PUBLISHED "LOGOTHERAPY AND THE LOGOS OF GOD IN CHRISTIC WISDOM" A PSYCHOLOGICAL, PHILOSOPHICAL, SPIRITUAL AND SCRIPTURAL REFLECTION ON THE PSYCHOLOGY OF VIKTOR FRANKL AND ITS EXISTENTIAL ROOTS IN THE HEALING MINISTRY OF JESUS CHRIST. Viktor Frankl (1905-1997), psychiatrist and concentration camp survivor is the founder of Logotherapy, which unlike other psychotherapeutic schools throughout the history of modern psychology gives new meaning to the place of the spiritual in man. Logos, from the Greek, meaning Word is also descriptive of Jesus who is the Logos of God, the Word of God, The Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. THIS BOOK UNDERTAKES A BRIEF EXAMINATION OF THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE HEALING MINISTRY OF CHRIST AND THE PRINCIPLES OF LOGOTHERAPY DEVELOPED BY VIKTOR FRANKL. IN CHRIST'S RELATIONSHIP WITH THOSE WHO DESIRED HEALING, HIS FOCUS IS ON THEIR NOETIC OR SPIRITUAL CORE. THE LOGOS OF LOGOTHERAPY, WHEN VIEWED IN THE CONTEXT OF CHRISTIC WISDOM IS AT THE SAME TIME, THE LOGOS OF GOD, BECAUSE THROUGH A DIA-LOGOS (A DIALOGUE WITH GOD) LEADING TO MAN'S DISCOVERY OF SELF, MAN DISCOVERS GOD.
