Social Psychology (1952) by Solomon Asch
When
I read this during my doctoral program.
Why
It was an assigned/chosen reading for a social and moral development seminar.
How
This book will forever have a special place in my heart. One, because of its emphasis on viewing human psychology as a result of dynamic relational processes. This broader theme is consistent with Social Cognitive Domain Theory, which grounds my scholarship. Two, because I found many of the ideas in the book useful for better understanding the human story that unfolds in scripture, as well as the effectiveness of Jesus’ ministry.
