"Three lines of insight and discipline converge to make the painful uneasiness of mind known as anxiety meaningful both to the participating Christian and to his pastoral counselor," writes Dr. Wayne Oates in the Preface to Anxiety in Christian Experience. These are "the insights and disciplines of the Biblical message, the findings of modern psychotherapists, and the clinical experience of pastoral counselors. These sources of understanding of the problem of anxiety bear witness together to reinforce each other and separately to throw light upon each other."

This book represents the effort to deal systematically with the problem of anxiety in Christian experience.

In addressing anxiety from the Christian perspective, Dr. Wayne Oates describes both the threat and the creative opportunity that anxiety presents in a way that was timely not only when this book was originally published but for contemporary readers as well. The complete text of the Westminster Press edition is republished here by the Wayne E. Oates Institute as it originally read. Please note that while the ideas expressed remain relevant to today, the language, particularly with regard to inclusive language, reflects the publishing practices common to the era of its original publication.
