Our era has even been described as a ‘guilt-consciousness age’. It comes as a surprise, therefore, to discover that there are so few modern books in which the meaning of guilt is thoroughly explored.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the present volume, published in 1962, Dr J.G. McKenzie makes an admirable attempt to fill the gap. He begins by describing and analysing the various senses in which the word ‘guilt’ is used and by making a number of important distinctions. \u003cbr\u003eThere follows a close psychological study of the origin and development of guilty feelings which is illumined by Dr McKenzie’s interpretation of ‘negative’ and ‘positive’ conscience. \u003cbr\u003eThe author then turns to the legal, ethical and religious concepts of guilt and examines each with care and insight, always raising and facing the deepest issues for both theory and practice. \u003cbr\u003eIn the concluding section of the book he deals with the question ‘How can the sense of guilt be dissipated?’ Against the backdrop of depth-psychology and theology he offers a penetrating and provocative understanding of divine forgiveness which plumbs the deeps both of man’s sin and of God’s love.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quay Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58212618404185,"sku":"Box C sp","price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/6021\/files\/GuiltItsMeaningandsignificance.jpg?v=1780578188","url":"https:\/\/www.quaybooksstore.com\/products\/guilt-its-meaning-and-significance-by-john-g-mckenzie","provider":"Quay Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
