They may believe they were reading a book about the life of Christ instead of a refutation of the self-esteem movement, if one didnt look at the name of Dr. Tylers book, Jesus Christ: Self-Denial or Self-Esteem. Dr. Tyler has a different method thats feature of some of the other books o-n researching self-esteem.

Dr. Tyler examines Christs encounter with various people. Jesus was always other-oriented because He was constantly about His fathers company. His baptism, the washing of the temple and the meeting with the Samaritan women are simply a couple of examples as evidence that Dr. Tyler cites. The most striking evidence appear
