4-Mat Review on Entwistle Chelesea Snyder Liberty University Summary If you are feeling for both sides of the argument Integrative Approaches to Psycology and Christianity is your book. If gives the different models and different theories to back each one up completely. Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity was a great read. Entwistle did an amazing wrinkle on putting together a great read with some different aspects to things. The authors thoughts are trying to explain the truth of divinitys word and show the insights it has on psychological science.Integration which there were several different theories and approaches to the 2, is what this book revolved around. The argumentation of consolidation and psychology are still a question with no right or wrong answers. While most of his arguments had biblical truths with in them he could argue that they didnt. The psychology world has seen many pros to deal believing in Christianity. Its been a great stress reliever as well as a different mindset for sight. The book explains that t sacred and secular combatants when it comes to the truth.Human nature is we are altogether born with sin having good and evil inwardly our souls and hearts. Within the reading society has seemed to always dispute on integrating the two. You have government that tells us we must separate church and state, you have some within society that would like to see the two integrate together again. We have seen in Entwistles works that people have within the church come up with light ideals. These approaches and studies however were hidden because holiness was scared they no longer had the answers.For these two different diverges of life to truthfully integrate people are going to have to put their feelings by and work together compromise is the only way these two will always over shadow the other. Epistemology, metaphysics and philosophical anthropologies are important to exam within the worldview of things. By exami ning the two books Gods word and the book of Gods works we can come to a better model of integration (Entwistle, 2010). The text talks about integration in a way that if you are too Christian you lose psychology and if you are to big into science you seem to lose the Christian principles behind it.Enemies, Spies, Colonialists, Neutral Parties, and Allies are the 5 integration models. Enemies in short term believe that religion and psychology could never be integrated, spies there are two types of spies. Spies on the outside or spies on the inside. Spies on the outside penury information only to bind with their principles and spies on the inside try to be buddy Neutral parties are just that neutral to everything and say they dont re anyy care every way. Colonialists on the other hand seek to make psychology subservient to theology. Allies are those who are on your side.I think that science without religion is stultify and conversely that religion without science is blind. Both are important and should work hand-in-hand. Albert Einstein (Entwistle, 2010). Concrete Responses The saying that got to me was when you come to a fork in the, route take it. It reminds me of the poem the Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. When I was a sophomore in college I was a mere 19 years old, I loved Kansas Wesleyan University only when was still very miserable, seems kinda silly that I was so miserable yet loved the place all at the same time.I was newly married, my husband had just deployed shortly after I was stuck in a catch 22. My husband wasnt in Califonia but I wanted to go and take a semester off the semester before to spend time with him. I should have but didnt because my parents would of freaked in fact they did freakout which was why I came back in January to finish out the year instead of spending three months as newlyweds. Coming back in January was weighed down very hard I was very involved in everything on campus from Choir, student activities, and even RA.We sa ng Robert Frosts poem the road non taken, it was dark and one of my favorites. The end of that year I left Kansas Wesleyan transferred to Fort Hays University and took the fork in the road. This was triggered because it was out of the normal. To my parents thye very much didnt support my decision so it was wrong because it wasnt theirs. This particular situation just makes me think that I have control over things but not all and even if they do not match my opinions and decisions I shouldnt make a snap judgment as Jesus gave us all different forks or paths to take.We must jump at the opportunity he gives us to fly at the fork in the road. Reflection The thing that trouble me with this book was the authors talk about findations. While I believe he is correct we are very much a part of nature however I dont believe God set limitations on humans. My theory within limitations is most of the time we humans limit ourselves. God will meet us half way always has, we must do some of the w ork as well.God lets us figure and find things within science on his time if not we wouldnt know about space, molecules or anything about human nature and climb on in sciences. Action The biggest thing I want to take from this book to put into my counseling is realize that not one way is affective on everybody. Some people will want to know you are praying for them and others will want you to pray with them right then and there. I want to put into institutionalize that my client will get what they want and me as the counselor need to make it appoint to give the client exactly what they have asked for.I want people to feel great about themselves which is why I want to be a counselor in the first place. But the biggest thing I want people to realize is they as well as God have the reigns with their counseling so we will use this as a way to hopefully heal and mend their hearts and minds.
