Let the wicked change their ways and (38) [banish] the (39) [very] (40) [thought] of doing wrong. Let them turn to the (41) [LORD] that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive (42) [generously].
(43) "[My] thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," (44) [says] the LORD. "And my ways are far beyond anything (45) [you] could imagine.

    David Entwistle's (2010) Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity appears to be a text with a primary audience which appears to be conservative evangelical Christians. The basic ‘meat’ of the book is the premise that "weaving together perspectives from psychology and Christian theology can help us understand and appreciate humanity more fully than we could with either perspective alone" (p. 3). Entwistle’s view is that in faithful reading of both the book of God's work (nature) and the book of God's word (theology), this textbook seems to be the work of an individual whose true request is for a form of psychology that is aimed at the treatment of the total patient, mind, body and soul. "Christian understandings of personhood, the purpose of human life, our need for God, and the ethical teachings of Christian faith," Entwistle argues, "are integral to psychology, not merely parallel to it" (p. 199). By making his opinion clear throughout several sections within the text Entwistle is projecting his position on the subject of integrating theology and psychology very clear.…

    Two research papers are required by all students in this course. Each paper should be 8–10 double-spaced pages in length, although you should consider this as a general guideline (longer papers will not be penalized, and a shorter paper, if very well done, could be an "A" quality paper). Each paper is a research paper, meaning that quality of research does impact the grade of the paper. You should plan ahead in developing a strategy for securing resources for each paper. Internet sources, while not forbidden, are generally discouraged as they are often of dubious quality. With this in mind, you should aim to use at least five quality sources for each paper, including, but not limited to, commentaries and journal articles. Papers will be graded based upon the clarity and style with which they were written, quality of research, the strength of the arguments made, and the depth of support provided through scripture. All sources should be cited through footnotes. Bible references may be cited in-text. Papers should also include a proper bibliography of all sources cited (besides the Bible, which is not considered a bibliography source). Each paper must be completed in Turabian format and using Microsoft Word.…

    This book Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity by David Entwistle (2010), talks about the incorporation of Christianity, and psychology. He stated, “Primarily psychology and Christianity are perceived by many people to be in opposition.” The two of them address general questions relating to human experiences and life from different angles. Enwistle explains that, “Christianity is based on the Word of God. Psychology’s foundation is supported empirically. Because psychology is empirically based, it does not allow any space for faith or recognition of the supernatural.” Christianity is based on faith and believes the Bible is the foundation of all truth. David Entwistle explained that, “Psychology uses empirical methods of study while theology studies human interpretations of God’s Word.” Entwistle provided a very detailed look at how these two different ways of viewing human behavior can be integrated. The purpose of this book is to assist its readers to completely understand the integration of these two disciplines. Although they appear to be seen as opponents, David Entwistle gives a thorough look at each of them and creates an avenue in which to show how they go together. A great amount of this book covers the examination of the different models used to comprehend the various views of integration. These models are looked at in a manner to let the reader personally recognize and examine their individual way of viewing integration. This book began by taking an in depth look at how our worldviews influence the way in which we think about everything. This includes psychology and Christianity. Entwistle uses the idea of "worldview" to give details on how we are able to look through our window to decide how we see our view as it relates to the world. According to Entwistle (2010), everybody has…

    According to Entwistle each person has their own worldview, a unique way in which one sees the world around them shaped by their own experiences, knowledge, and culture. The family we were born into, the town we grew up, the continent our town is located all help shape our worldview. Our worldview allows us to question if what we believe is true and if our beliefs have a place within our religion. In taking a Christian worldview believing and understanding in the creation, Fall, redemption, and consummation provides a starting point for integration by allowing Christians to understand how the world around them began and their place in that world.

    Psychological studies are mainly based on the direct observation of human behavior, rather than reasoning or speculation. Psychology is like any other subject- the majority of people have a very shallow and basic understanding of what the study involves, and yet they lack a crucial knowledge of the major struggles and disagreements among those who study it. It does not surprise me that psychology is one of the more popular majors available. By nature, it sparks human curiosity, especially as to what contributes to the system of our thoughts and the pattern in our behaviors. For the first eighteen years of one’s life, the primary struggle to understand oneself and psychology is the first opportunity that arises to help us answer our questions (excluding Christianity). And often even faithful believers see reason in having their curiosities dissected and explained by science rather than religion.…

    Many ideas and interpretations are represented through out the entirety of literature. One of the many aspects that come with that are reinterpretations of those books or ideas in a multitude of forms, along with a multitude of ways. An excellent example of reinterpretations would be the bible, considering all the different readings that may be found saying almost exactly the same information. The only difference between the separate versions is the wording and sometimes the image that the readings may or may not give off. That being said a very talked about reinterpretation would be J.B. written Archibald MacLeish.…

    Within the Christian community there is a wide variety of opinions concerning and validating psychology. The word psychology is defined as the scientific study of behavior and mental process (King, 2010). The root word psych means “mind” or some might say “soul,” and if you look at it in that perspective psychology could be seen as religious in nature and involves the study of the soul. However, because psychology is scientific study is does not mean to make any religious statements about the human soul, but instead it refers to a non-tangible personal trait of human beings.…
