Mindfield: The Convergence of Spiritual and Psychological Warfare
This paper explores the overlap between spiritual warfare, as described in Christian theology, and psychological warfare, as understood in both military and clinical psychology. By analyzing scriptural references and modern psychological research, this paper argues that spiritual warfare is deeply intertwined with psychological processes, especially those involving identity, thought patterns, emotional regulation, and trauma. Both forms of warfare target the mind, manipulate perception, and seek to influence behavior. Therefore, understanding one contributes significantly to understanding the other.
