There was an old lady who swallowed a fly...a bird...a cat...a dog...a snake...a cow...and a horse. Do you know what happened to her? Of course you do! But with his distinct art style and a clever format, acclaimed graphic designer Jeremy Holmes has given the universal rhyme a unique makeover that is clever, funny, and unexpected.
Cur Deus Verba presents a systematic theology of Scripture centered on the question of God's intent in creating the Bible. To understand this, we must explore why the Holy Trinity created anything, the significance of the Word becoming flesh, and the Church's need for an inspired text. Christ embodies humanity more fully than any individual, just as the Church represents a society beyond mere human constructs. Every society has its literary heritage, necessitating a canon that transcends ordinary literature. Understanding God's purpose requires recognizing His desire for human beings to contribute to revelation itself, which paradoxically underscores the need for Scripture's spiritual sense. This spiritual sense redefines the term 'literal' within theology, indicating that one cannot grasp the literal meaning without also understanding the spiritual dimension. After God accomplishes His intentions, we must consider how this inspired text persists. While Scripture exists in physical form, its true essence resides in the hearts of readers. Furthermore, given its role in salvation history, the ultimate embodiment of Sacred Scripture is found in the Heart of Jesus Christ.

Describing the neuroscientific basis for effective psychotherapy, Professor Holmes draws on the Free Energy Principle, which holds that, through 'active inference' - agency and model revision - the brain minimises discrepancies between incoming experience and its pre-existing picture of the world.
In The Spirit of Psychotherapy, Holmes considers whether the principles which underpin religion can be applied to the largely secular world of psychotherapy. Having a belief system is generally associated with good physical and mental health. The prime focus of psychotherapy theory and practice is intrapersonal and interpersonal, but these are nested in an often-unexamined supra-personal context, sociological, ecological and spiritual. Structured around a qualitative study based on in-depth interviews with people from a wide range of faith backgrounds, Holmes presents the role belief and spirituality play in everyday lives. From these interviews, the author identifies core themes such as attachment and hope, frameworks of meaning, and rhythm and ritual. Individual chapters are devoted to detailed descriptions of these themes, while drawing parallels and implications for psychotherapy.
