Question

The brief summary of the integrates model in integration of psychology and theology ​

Answer 1

Answer:

An attempt to integrate Psychology and Christian faith (Theology) is a daunting task because of the divergent approaches of these academic disciplines. Alan C. Tjeltveit, in his article, 'Lost opportunities, partial successes, and key questions: Some historical lessons' (2012), published in the recent volume of the Journal of Psychology and Theology commemorating 40 years of exploring the interrelationships of these two academic disciplines, argues:

The hard questions that arise when we take both psychology and Christian faith very seriously need to be faced, especially those arising in areas in which they conflict and overlap. And we need to be aware of psychologists' underlying assumptions, including ethical and metaphysical assumptions, critiquing those assumptions and thinking through how psychology might be envisioned, not with different data, but with different interpretations and definitions of data, interpretations that are at once consistent with data and with Christian understandings.
