Fine Madness: Psychosis, Faith Communities and the Rehabilitation of the Christian Apocalypse

Marion Carson

International Christian College, Glasgow

A parallel is drawn between responses to the Christian Apocalypse and people who suffer from psychosis. Historically, both have been abused, shunned, and silenced. Liberationists recognize the ability of Revelation's ‘otherness’ to speak to the marginalized. Can the church learn to value and welcome the ‘otherness’ of the mentally ill?

Key Words: Apocalyptic • Revelation • Mental illness • Psychosis • Liberation theology • Pastoral care
