Sumario: | This article explores the troubled relationship between evangelicals and the mentally ill community, focusing primarily on a Reformed/fundamentalist movement known as nouthetics or biblical counselling. I argue that for a large number of evangelicals, mentally ill people represent a diseased "other" population, in many ways as inherently "sinful" as gays and lesbians. Through this analysis, I promote a better understanding of mentally ill evangelicals, and more importantly, a better understanding of what the term "mentally ill" specifically denotes among evangelicals. |
