Between Jerusalem and Athens: Ethical Perspectives on Culture, Religion, and Psychotherapy
Between Jerusalem and Athens offers a compelling answer to this question. It shows students and practitioners who struggle with this issue how they can authentically integrate faith and practice by considering the central, life-shaping theme of biblical Christian the Reign of God.
Part 1 proposes that a distinct cultural ethic based on the central theme of the Reign of God be the context for therapy. Part 2 explores how the church can be a community of ethical reflection and healing. Part 3 discusses the therapist's character and a model for developing character that reflects the Reign of God.

A tough read, to be sure.
Basic, simplistic synopsis: On our journey in life, one does well to remember the following:
- culture affects all,
- the church culture has many challenges to overcome,
- we need a solid spiritual family to look to,
- character and morals need to be developed,
- looking within is where true change occurs
