Description
Summary:While the integration of Christianity with psychology has made some notable progress in recent years, there has been relatively little growth in psychological research relevant to integration. This article presents a model which attempts to begin correcting this by showing the relevance of psychological research to theories and world views used in psychology. Psychological study is categorized into six levels: World View, General Proposition, Linkage, Specific Proposition, Hypothesis, and Data. Distinct integration tasks are suggested for each level. The importance of the interrelationships among the six levels is also emphasized.
