Abstract:

Much confusion around the integration of psychology and the Christian faith has led to conflicting attitudes toward this important paradigm. A Reformed Evangelical approach to bringing developmental psychology under the authority of the Bible is proposed through the validation, modification, and reconstruction of elements in the mechanistic and organismic worldviews. Christian psychology scholars are encouraged to test their research agenda against the biblical canon in order to determine whether their theoretical formulations, focal questions, methodological approach, and interpretation or application of data are valid.
