Psychological Biblical Criticism
D. Andrew Kille has described this method in the following way:
Although the Bible knows nothing of modern psychological theory, it is a richly psychological text. Psychology is the study of human behavior, and the Bible not only describes human behaviors, attitudes, motivations, interactions, and relationships, it is also the product of human behaviors – memory, personality, thinking processes, perception, and interpersonal interactions. Psychological factors continue to be at work in the ongoing reading, exegesis, and interpretation of the Bible.1
