Overview

Scott Peck's books, especially The Road Less Traveled, have been hundreds of weeks on the The New York Times' and other bestseller lists. His acceptance has been wide and pervasive even in the various Christian communities. This volume is one of the first attempts to relate the ideas and philosophies of Dr. Peck to the biblical belief system. There are surprises, plenty of them. Life magazine says, "The Scott Peck gospel is an amalgam of psychiatry and Christianity drizzled with Greek myth and Buddhism." In this text, researcher Abanes and theologian House examine what Dr. Peck says, particularly in his books, articles and interviews. They also compare his ideas and philosophies to Christian orthodoxy. It has become a literary adventure with some surprising turns in this famous road, now perhaps, a bit more traveled. About the Authors H. Wayne House, former president of the Evangelical Theological Society and author of 15 books, holds earned doctorates in both law and theology. A professor-at-large at Simon Greenleaf University, Dr. House is an insightful theologian and an experienced analyst of discernment issues in the light of Scripture. Richard Abanes, author of Embraced By The Light and the Bible, is the founder/director of the Religious Information Center, a southern California-based ministry. His research has been quoted in several notable publications, including The New York Times, Chicago Tribune and Moody magazine.
