Twitter version one

Gary Collins admits that emotions can be crippling, but this provides opportunities for Christian pastoral counseling. Collins (1988: 16).

Edited from PhD thesis

The Christian message can be presented within the context of one suffering. A human being is often going to experience evil and suffering on both emotional and intellectual levels and both should be adequately dealt with by theology and philosophy, within a biblical model.
