Blame It on the Brain? Distinguishing Chemical Imbalances, Brain Disorders, and Disobedience (Second Edition)

Written byEd Welch

Each person’s brain is unique and affects daily life in untold ways. But can our brains cause us to sin? Has brain research proved that we’re not responsible for certain actions or feelings?

Viewing brain problems through the lens of Scripture, Ed Welch distinguishes brain disorders from problems rooted in the heart, yet shows an interplay between both. As he focuses on a few common issues—from Alzheimer’s to depression, brain injury to addiction—Dr. Welch lays out a series of practical steps that are adaptable to a wide range of conditions and habits. Understanding the nuances of embodied spiritual life will enable pastors, counselors, families, and friends to help others and themselves, even in complex situations.

This new edition of the 1998 classic has been extensively updated and revised by the author.
