Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity

Abstract

The book released in 2010, by David Entwistle Integrative approaches to Christianity and Psychology confers the incorporation of psychology and theology. An intention of the text is to land the conversation concerning this correlation in the backdrop of theoretical subjects that are precondition to incorporation worldview, but are hardly ever talked about in manuscripts of incorporation (Entwistle, 2010). It is quite prominent that this text drowns within the philosophies of psychology and theology both. The concept of Secular Science comes into mind whenever someone hears the word psychology. Initially psychology was not founded on the principles of secularism as stated in the manuscript; later on secular theories were created by psychologists.
