Based on my own Christian worldview‚ that the Bible‚ the Word of God‚ is the absolute truth‚ and the answers and directions in life can be found within it. Kring‚ Johnson‚ Davison‚ & Neale‚ (2014) define psychopathology as the nature‚ development and treatment of mental disorders.

This notion of expressing the inexpressible is at the core of Christian worship. For instance‚ the liturgy is charged with communicating the concept of anamnesis‚ or “making known God’s salvific event in the present”.
