Religion and Mental Health : the Therapeutic Value of the Teachings of Jesus.
Author Note: The authors of this article take the position that the Judeo-Christian heritage is dominated by the teachings of Jesus. Consequently, all Christian belief systems reflect similar ideas about the nature of reality. This Christian philosophy of life shapes attitudes that believers have about themselves, their relationship with others, and appropriate responses to crises and adversity.

The authors believe that these themes may be related to mental and physical health advantages that believers have over non-believers.
