Summary “Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity” (2010) focuses on the deliberate integration of psychology and Christianity. Entwistle, discusses the integration of Scripture and nature, supporting historical orthodox Christianity that “Scripture and the natural world have their origins in the creativity and revelation of God” (Entwistle, 2010, p. 136). Theology clarifies the Word of God (Bible) and psychology corresponds to the works of God. A working definition of integration is offered: "A multifaceted attempt to discern underlying truths about the nature and functioning of human beings from the unique perspectives of psychology (in its various subdisciplines, using various methodologies) and Christianity (in its various sub-disciplines, using various methodologies). theology, faith and practice)” (Entwistle, 2010, p. 218). A framework of five models is shared: enemies, spies, colonialists, neutral parties and allies. The Enemies model does not associate any relationship between Christianity and psychology. The Spies Model focuses on what works best for them, both in Christianity and psychology. Colonialists use psychology only to the extent that it corresponds to theology. The neutral party model holds that psychology and theology are independent with possible correlation between the findings of the two, but this goes to the extent that one discipline can encroach on the other. Allies, the model considered by Entwistle, recognizes that although psychology and theology are separate, they remain dependent, based on the underlying unity of the truth of God's written word and His works (Entwistle, 2010). The foundation of the integrative approach to psychology and Christianity appears to be that of anthropology; this can be seen in both books, God will...... middle of paper ...... make me responsible to seek wise counsel (Proverbs 1:5, 11:14, 15:22), acknowledging 1Thessalonians 5:21, “Prove all things; hold on to what is good; » thus, seriously apply relevant scientific methods and undergo peer review (Entwistle 2010). I will continue to seek training in the disciplines of psychology and theology. I will progress by building on the biblical foundations established through my bachelor's degree (a double major in education and Bible), through continued reading of the disciplines, scriptures, and observation of the world around me. Ultimately, may everything I do reflect my love for God with all my heart, soul, and mind, and may I love my neighbor as myself (Matthew 22:37-39) . Reference Entwistle, D.N. (2010).
