Glynn Harrison is a husband to Louise, a dad and a grandfather. He was formerly Professor and Head of Department of Psychiatry, University of Bristol, UK, where he was also a practising Psychiatrist. Professionally, he has worked across the whole spectrum of mental health problems, although his main areas of research and clinical work were in the field of severe mental illnesses such as schizophrenia. Now, as an author and speaker, he is interested in issues at the interface between biblically-based faith and psychology, neuroscience and psychiatry, as well as wider issues of culture and Christian worldview.
His most recent book ‘A Better Story: God, Sex and Human Flourishing’ turns a critical eye to the sexual revolution. He concludes that it has failed to deliver the freedom and authenticity it promised. He challenges Christians to face up to their own failed promises and then to live out a better vision of sex and relationships that shows what true human flourishing can look like.
"Good news for our culture" is the topic Glynn will be speaking on on Sunday evening.
