==Vitz and Creativity==
Vitz has stated that the academic, or secular humanistic, idea of creativity since the 19th century has been deeply flawed. Instead Vitz suggests a different definition of creativity:<ref>[httphttps://books.google.com/books?id=dl77RyqE4RgC ''Psychology As Religion: The Cult of Self-Worship''] (Wm. B. Eerdmans 1977), p. 63</ref>
{{cquote|For a Christian, however, all creativity has its origin in God; and to claim that an individual human is really creative is either silly or blasphemous. A person can express his individual capacity in a creative fashion only by aligning himself with God's will. Real creativity requires a soul cooperating with God— a soul who becomes God's loving agent in all its activity however mundane.}}
