We talked together, he and I, and I urged him to go into psychology, because we need people in that field who are competent, who have as excellent a background as any of the secularists but who are committed evangelicals. So he did go on into psychiatry, and hes edited a Harvard book of psychiatry. Every year at Harvard they have a series of lectures that have been presented by some outstanding people. This year, Armand gave the lectures. They were crowded out, elicited great attention, and were an opportunity for him to discuss and contrast Sigmund Freud and C.S. Lewis in their worldviews, their ethics, there ways of helping people face life and death. If we had more people of that stature, able to articulate a Christian position from a broadly psychological standpoint, Christian counseling would make a significant contribution.
