| dc.description.abstract | Given the prevalence and cost of workplace bullying, and the degree to which the systemic issues that support it are not soon to change for the American worker, this thesis will educate pastors on how, through the study of select psalms, they might go about counseling victims of this devastating form of interpersonal sin. The thesis will employ the research of experts in organizational behavior to define and describe the phenomenon of workplace bullying; mine the scriptural and commentary traditions for insight into the dynamics of interpersonal hostility; and provide journaling and visualization exercises for pastors to use in the counseling relationship. The thesis will conclude with suggestions as to how pastors might leverage congregational resources to support victims of workplace bullying and working congregants. | |
