If one didnt look at the name of Dr. Tylers book, Jesus Christ: Self-Denial or Self-Esteem, they might believe they were reading a book about the life of Christ instead of a refutation of the self-esteem movement. Dr. Tyler takes a different method thats characteristic of several of the other books o-n analyzing self-esteem. He doesnt completely claim that the self-esteem position is defective from the humanistic psychological approach as Paul Vitz does. Nor does he try to contrast each heretical thought and compare it to an exhaustive search at scripture references.

Dr. Tyler tries to declare that the Bibles focus is on self-denial, a notion that's obviously anathema to present day authors.

And where are, Dr. Tyler requires, the words of Jesus when h-e allegedly tells his followers to love themselves, respect themselves, take themselves, rely on themselves, produce a healthier self-image, or feed feelings of significance and worth? Dr. Tyler looks for them within the next three sections of his book as he explores the parables of Christ, works, and words.
