Description

“A Madman for Christ” covers the history of the author’s schizophrenia using both serious, heavy diary extracts and humorous accounting of what the author was doing with himself whilst mad, whilst developing a theology of suffering and madness. It is an interwoven account, at times a dossier of letters. It is written for friends and family in explanation, but would be of great use to clergy, mental health practitioners with all of its phenomenology of mental illness, carers, service users, and both Christians and non-believers alike.
