Jackson, Glenda: Origin of the Centred Self? (E-Book)

Our ability to live relationally while exercising free will has traditionally been a challenging conundrum. Philosophers and theorists have also recognised and yet struggled with what appear to be two selves: one self free to be open and expansive while the other trapping people into spiraling self-centred and destructive behaviour. Genesis 1-3 can be read as an explanation of the interlinked themes: Gods type of government, the basis for free will, core themes in human identity, and the arrival and nature of the centred self. These concepts are traceable throughout the Bible and connect with our every day lives.
