Foundations for a Psychology of Grace by W.W. Meissner (published in 1966) explores the intersection of psychology and theology, likely focusing on the psychological dimensions of the concept of grace. The book is based on the premise that most people want to view themselves as 'good' people, worthy of love and respect. While this desire seems positive, it often leads to a life dominated by self-justification strategies used to protect this feeling of being good, which can cause significant emotional pain in our relationships and lives. The book's focus is on how choosing grace over self-justification can lead to a different, 'healing life' that eliminates the need for self-justification and the pain it brings. For specific details on W.W. Meissner's original work, you might need to consult academic sources or specialized libraries, as the original text is older and focuses on foundational principles.
