Are psychology and the Bible really compatible? Are self-help programs based on psychology consistent with the teachings of Christianity, which emphasize dependence upon God? Eminent Christian psychologist, GARY COLLINS discusses these and related issues as he seeks a viable integration of theology and psychology. Emphasizing that any approach to the integration of these disciplines must have a strong biblical foundation, Dr. Collins presents theoretical concerns and explores practical applications in the church, in counseling, and in the daily work of the psychologist. The fourth chapter is a unique contribution edited by Dr. H. Newton Malony. It represents the viewpoints of a missionary anthropologist, a pastoral theologian, a clinical psychologist, and a graduate student, as they respond individually to Dr. Collins' proposals. Their insights challenge and extend the concepts presented by the author and provide a focus for his response in the concluding chapter. Dr. Collins' survey of the progress already made in the integration of psychology and theology, as well as his outline of the work yet to be done, gives readers Rene appreciation of the complexity of the task. By pinpointing the areas of future research and study, PSYCHOLOGY AND THEOLOGY: PROSPECTS FOR INTEGRA-TION becomes an important foundational base upon which a truly integration of theology and psychology can be achieved, both construelyek creatively. 261,515687348307 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 261.515 Col p E92012333 Non Fiction 261.515 Col p tgheolgy.jpg 22527 2014-05-08 10:08:00 2026-02-09 16:51:10 machine generated
