Faith, Hope and Charity: An Adlerian Perspective (Master's Thesis)

Author Name: Allan M. Savage | Format: Paperback | Genre : Reference & Study Guides | Other Details

From a Western perspective this thesis concludes that faith from an Adlerian perspective may be understood as a pastoral and theological attitude arising out of an innate disposition described by Alfred Adler as social interest; Gemeinschaftsgefühl. Faith, traditionally considered as capable of “moving mountains” may now be understood as a creative power exercised by healthy individuals living in community. Similarly, hope finds its realization, not in a future idealized world, but in one’s present existence of a higher social interest cultivated on the part of the individual. Following Adler’s insights, charity being out-ward directed strengthens co-operation and reduces competition among individuals living in community.
