After explaining the dangerous nature of dogmatic belief, psychologist Johnson teaches strategies for dealing with dogmatic people and provides suggestions for minimizing the harmful effects of dogmatism in educational, political, and social institutions.

A new edition of E. A. Litton’s great book has long been overdue. His Introduction to Dogmatic Theology won the admiration of leading scholars upon publication, and has retained that admiration ever since. The book has been completely reset in modern style.

This volume introduces the problem of dogmatism broadly, explores the nature and nuances of dogmatic thinking from various disciplinary perspectives, and applies the gleaned insights to what is known about creativity and the education of creative young minds.
