Citlak, Amadeusz2024-11-202024-11-202021The Biblical Annals, 2021, T. 11, nr 1, s. 121-139.2451-21682083-2222https://theo-logos.pl/handle/123456789/23966The article presents the most important trends and achievements of the psychological interpretation of the biblical text in recent years. The main goal, however, is to propose going beyond the quite controversial – though interesting – research from the perspective of depth psychology (Tiefenpsychologie), which completely dominated psychological biblical criticism in the 20th century. Therefore I`ll focus on well verified psychological theories (especially social psychology and social cognition) which are widely recognized among psychologists, and which seem to significantly enrich the conceptual apparatus of the contemporary biblical scholar and allow for a better understanding of the social milieu in biblical books. Psychological biblical criticism can be very valuable and useful method in contemporary exegesis, but it have to overcome the limitations of depth psychology.plCC-BY - Uznanie autorstwapsychological biblical criticismbiblical psychologydepth psychologysocial psychologypsychology of social cognitionpsychologyBiblebiblical discoursediscoursecognitionsocial cognitionpsychologiczna krytyka biblijnapsychologia biblijnapsychologia głębipsychologia społecznapsychologia poznania społecznegopsychologiaBibliaPismo Świętedyskurs biblijnydyskurspoznaniepoznanie społeczneArticle
