In Zero-Variable Theories, Dr. Robert Wicklund invites the reader to consider the psychological perspective of the "explainer". In examining the over-simplifications that have become dominant in modern psychology, the author points to such factors as competition with other explainers and pressure to offer and promulgate a unique explanation. The explainer is characterized as equating theory with simple, fixed categories, and as defending those categories as one would defend a personal territory, fending off competing explainers through mis-use of statistical devices. The end result is the formulation of theories that neglect the perspectives of those whose behaviors are to be explained, and which simultaneously exclude psychological variables.

When you need help understanding God's Word, turn to The Bible Explainer-- answering 250 who, what, when, where, and why questions about the world's best-selling book. People, places, things, and ideas are covered, from Genesis through Revelation, with insight, intrigue, and a dash of humor. Questions and answers are presented in logical order, from larger, more general issues (for example, "What is the Bible?") through the more specific (such as "Was Jesus a pacifist?" and "What is the significance of 666?"). Bible Explainer tackles the tough ones, too--like How could God "regret" making humans? Did God command Israel to commit genocide? Why do Christians follow the Old Testament's teaching on homosexuality but not its commands about eating bacon and shrimp? The Bible Explainer acknowledges the variety of viewpoints in the larger Christian world while taking a conservative historical approach itself. It's a fascinating read that will enhance your appreciation of scripture--plus, it's illustrated in full color!
