Abstract According to my book, Entwistle speaks about how

different models shed understanding of God word
helps humans can become more stronger if they follow his
works. Although I found more information regarding
theology which is the study of God and his will and kingdom.
Psychology is the study of the human mind and it is
designed to function in this world. Christ is the way the truth
and light, not some scientific method that is going
to heal our thoughts, emotions only the word of God can soothe
our soul with his word. After analyzing the
ingratiation approaches of Christianity and psychology. He
clearly stated the approaches as a subject is normally
being avoided because the existence of two methods that are
involved cohesive slightly containing different
topics; 1 CHRISTIANITY AND PSYCHOLOGY. While most
remained being reserved or natural about the
entire matter others have question nor thought in regards to the
concerned subject.
Introduction
According to the literature Entwistle, openly depicts the two as
a fork that is in the road. This saying in most
cases it is often used as an epiphany to widely describe when an
individual wants to make a major life-changing
decision and that the outcome will sometime determine where
the journey in life will take a person. He goes

further showing how an individual has been great against one
another because of the involved two practices ever
since the beginning of time frames. Thereafter he goes beyond
explaining to incorporate Blamires the alternative
rendition of the Tertulian’s point of view. “Blamires aids people
to see what they can learn from “sources while
they are framing their thinking with Christians all over the
world and also apply the knowledge with the concern
of Christian. 4 BY LOOKING AT THIS GREAT IDEA HE,
THEREFORE, ENTERTAINS THE
POSSIBILITY OF PSYCHOLOGY AND THEOLOGY FOR IT
TO CO-EXISTENCE IN THE SAME
AREA BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF BOTH TOPICS; ONE
IS BASED ON THE TRUTH AND THE
OTHER IS SOLELY FOUNDED ON FAITH.
THE INTRODUCTION OF THE BOOK MAJORLY HAD
PROFANED THE FOUNDATION SO AS IT
JOINS THE COMMON ASPECTS OF THEOLOGY AND
PSYCHOLOGY TOO, "COMMIT TO
CHRISTIANS ALL OVER THE WORLD THAT SHAPES HOW
PSYCHOLOGY IS BEING APPLIED
AND THEREAFTER STUDIED AND ALSO RECOGNIZES
THAT THERE ARE SPECIFIC

CHRISTIAN RESOURCES THAT UNIQUELY REVEALS
CRUCIAL ASPECTS OF WHAT IT MEANS
TO BE HUMAN”. AS ENTWISTLE GOES ON EXPLORING
THE POSSIBILITY OF ADJOINING
THE TWO PRACTICES THAT HE DECIDES THAT ALL
TRUTH IS GOD’S TRUTH” (ENTWISTLE,
2015). THIS IS THE CENTRAL IDEA TO THE POSITION OF
THE ENTWISTLE THAT
PSYCHOLOGY AND CHRISTIANITY ARE TO BE ALLIED
WITH EQUAL SAY IN THE LEVEL OF
TRUTH. As he was exploring this content of truth, he pulls it
out from the historical life or worldwide
perspective which affects how people comprehend or interact
and relate to their experience and the world
Id=1604731150&&attemptId=6480f101-182… 3/13
(Entwistle, 56). Of integrating science, faith and look and the
start of the foundational the beginning of both and
also how scholars of the time frame view either of the topics. 4
ENTWISTLE CLOSES THIS PARTICULAR
CHAPTER WITH ONE THOUGHT THAT HE STRONGLY

BELIEVED IT COULD BE THE
FOUNDATION OF WHY AN INDIVIDUAL SHOULD
ALWAYS INCORPORATE EACH PRACTICE.
5 “THE INTERACTION OF THEOLOGY AND PSYCHOLOGY
IS CONSIDERED BEING
VIRTUALLY INEVITABLE DUE TO THEIR MUTUAL
INTEREST IN UNDERSTANDING THE
MYSTERIES AND THE AMBIGUITY OF THE HUMAN
BEHAVIOR, AND ALSO HEALING HUMAN
BROKENNESS”. (Entwistle, 2015).
6 METHODS OF KNOWING
The methods of knowing are the techniques of gaining
understanding. There are mainly five methodologies of
gaining an understanding/knowledge. The first method of
gaining knowledge is called intuition (Price, Jhangiani,
Chiang, Leighton & Cuttler, n.d.). Intuition refers to emotions,
instincts or gut feelings that direct an individual.
Instead of utilizing rational thinking, intuition makes a person
believe upon what he/she feels to be true. The
most usual technique of gaining an understanding is an
authority. It means that people approve novel concepts
because some of the authorities say that those concepts are true.
These authoritative figures involve the media,

parents, religious authorities, the government, priests, and
professors (Price et al., n.d.).
6 THE THIRD METHOD OF ACQUIRING AN
UNDERSTANDING IS RATIONALISM. Rationalism
refers to the utilization of reasoning and argumentation to gain
new understanding. This technique involves the
employment of described and logical principles to reach at
strong inferences. The fourth method is empiricism
(Price et al., n.d.). This technique involves grasping an
understanding with the help of investigation and
encounter. The final technique of knowing is scientific
methodology. This method involves systematic gathering
and assessment of evidence to examine concepts and respond to
queries.
The methods of knowing that are best suited to Christianity are
authority and empiricism. Christians can attain
an understanding of their religion through authority characters.
These authority figures help the people reach at
the inferences that they are not able to understand on their own.
To gain a detailed understanding about biblical
scriptures, it is important for the Christians to seek for an
assistance of an authority figure. Another method of
grasping knowledge that is appropriate for Christians is
empiricism. Empiricism makes the people learn about

different concepts through experience and scrutiny. Christians
are depending on empiricism to validate the
events; however, people are restricted in what they investigate
and encounter. For example, people developed the
concept of day and night because it was devised by the God.
God named the light as ‘day’ and darkness as ‘night.’
Christians can validate their ideas through observation.
Id=1604731150&&attemptId=6480f101-182… 4/13
4 THE MODELS ENTWISTLE ALSO GIVES SOME IN-
DEPTH ANALYSIS OF THE WORLDVIEW
AND HISTORY OF VARIOUS BELIEF AND CULTURE
SYSTEMS AND THEIR NATURE ON HOW
THEY COME TO BE. AS THE WHOLE SOCIETY SLOWLY
TRANSITIONED FROM THE MODERN
PERSPECTIVE TO POSTMODERN POINT OF VIEW,
EPISTEMOLOGY SET IN AND ALSO
CAUSED A RIPPLE IN THE LOGICAL EMPIRICISM AND
REASONING OF THE WORLD. Entwistle
had quest to acquire virtue that he reminds the reader that by
saying that a person is restricted by being

vulnerable to mistakes and the most significant virtue is
possessing a characteristic of having a modest view of
one’s significance. 4 IF PEOPLE FAIL TO EXERCISE THE
VALUE OF HUMILITY, THEY RUN THE
RISK OF BEING QUITE SURE OF THEMSELVES WHICH IS
QUITE WRONG. WHEN THIS IS
SAID, HE GOES ON PROVIDING INSIGHTS THAT HE
CLEARLY KNOWS THAT AS A HUMAN
RACE PEOPLE CANNOT DO IT ON THEIR OWN AND
THEREFORE, “INDIVIDUAL MIGHT
WANT TO THINK OF CHRISTIAN PSYCHOLOGY AND
THEOLOGY AS INSTRUMENTS IN AN
ORCHESTRA”. (P 131) PEOPLE CAN USE WHAT THEY
NEED SO AS THEY REMAIN IN
BALANCE AND BE IN TUNE WITH THEIR PEERS AND
THEIR LOVED ONES. Furthermore,
Entwistle also introduces five models of working; 4 THE
REQUIRED FIVE MODELS OF INTEGRATION
ARE:
a) Enemies
b) Spies
c) Colonialists

d) Neutral parties
7 E) ALLIES THE INVOLVED SIX MODELS ALWAYS
REPRESENT VARIOUS WAYS OF
CONCEPTUALIZING THE ENTIRE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN RELIGION AND PSYCHOLOGY
IN GENERAL, OR CHRISTIANITY AND PSYCHOLOGY IN
PARTICULAR. Methods have a way of
studying the environment, of shaping and finding accuracy.
While looking at the connection linking through
theology and psychology usually means the knowledge of the
sacred mind and behavior of a psychological aspect.
If I had a facility, I would approach my client with biblical
scripture in order to help the person to know Gods
work and love he has for them. There are ways to connect with
people using scriptures to coping in everyday
living. Psychology has the way of using the worldview system
for non-believers like medication to help a person
to cope with thoughts and emotion. Learning the Allies model
can be great to use in psychology and Christianity
while working in the field.
Strengths of The Allies Model of Integration

Id=1604731150&&attemptId=6480f101-182… 5/13
According to Entwistle, the major strength if the Allies model is
that it is the most adequate integrative solution
on the basis of a presumption that the truths of God are present
in both the word of God, i.e. the scripture and the
work of God, i.e. 6 THE CREATION (ENTWISTLE, 2015).
Another strength of the Allies model is that it acknowledges
various other methodologies of grasping an
understanding regarding human nature and the world. The
model also identifies the reality that
worldviews/religions make an immense influence on the way the
people think (Entwistle, 2015).
Also, the Allies Model takes a holistic approach to observe
human conduct and does not stick merely to Christian
lens while observing human conduct.
8 HOW YOUR MODEL VIEWS THE TWO BOOKS
CONCEPT;
After reading the allies model view concerning the two books
my thought was distinct, and I think that the
chapters must be viewed in knowledge and ability to modify the
methods; though, individually agreement on

people to compromising what should be forbidden because it
could conduct to reviewers to observe further
common assumptions.
Limitation of the Model
The first limitation of the Allies Model is that it refutes the
assertion of the Enemies model that theology and
psychology are mutually independent. This model connects
psychology and Christianity with each other. 9
THE CRITICS ARE AGAINST THIS IDEA BECAUSE THEY
THINK THAT THESE TWO ARE NOT
COMPATIBLE TO EACH OTHER (MYERS, JONES,
ROBERTS, WATSON, COE, HALL, &
POWLISON, 2010). Another major weakness of the model is
that it has faced troubles in integrating varying
Christian ideologies.
Conclusion
5 BASED ON THE CHAPTER THAT CONCLUDES THE
ENTWISTLE BOOK, IT REVEALS HIS
MODEL OF CHOICE AND ALSO WIDELY EXPLAINS IN
GREATER DEPTH WHY HE CHOSE IT.
He explains his whole preferences and their after introduces the
two books of God’s truth, to which they are God’s
word (scripture) and God’s Work (creation), which fatherly and

clearly explain his whole reasoning and also why
he come to choose the allies model. 4 IN MOST OF THE
CASES HE ALWAYS SEEMED TO TAKE A
FIRM BELIEF IN THAT IN THIS REAL LIFE, PEOPLE ARE
LIMITED IN THEIR ASSUMPTIONS
AND OPINIONS BUT WITH GOD’S WORD AND THE BOOK
OF HIS WORK, THEY WILL HELP
PEOPLE ALONG THE WAY.

Integration Paper Instructions
Description: This paper is the capstone project of the course,
and it will describe your approach to the relationship between
psychology and Christianity. You will classify your approach
and note the strengths (3) and limitations (3) of your view as
well as reflect on different factors that led to your position.
Purpose: This course has presented several models of the
relationship between Christian faith and the discipline of
psychology. Your view of the relationship between psychology
and Christian faith will guide your practice of psychology, both
professionally and personally. This paper provides an explicit
avenue for you to articulate a coherent view of the relationship
between psychology and Christianity.
Details:
1. Papers will be graded on the quality of thinking, defense,
organization, clarity, and grammar…not on whether you agree
with the instructor’s position.
2. Begin with an introductory paragraph that describes the
importance of examining the relationship between psychology
and Christianity. The last sentence of the introduction must be
your thesis statement that guides the rest of your paper.
· Example: Upon consideration of the evidence from various
disciplines of study, it seems like the (model chosen) best
captures the relationship between psychological science and
Christian faith.
3. In writing about your position (you will need to classify your
approach), be sure to touch on the following (and remember to
cite Entwistle when you use his ideas):
· What methods of knowing are appropriate for Christians and

why (this will actually help you classify your approach);
· A thorough description of the model and how it views the
relationship between psychology and Christianity;
· How your model views the two books concept;
· Strengths of the model (at least three);
· Limitations of the model (at least three); be sure to include
critiques offered by those who hold other positions; and
· Remember to use transition statements as you move from one
main idea to the next.
4. End with a conclusion.
5. Avoid using 1st person.
· Instead of saying “I think Christians should embrace
psychology,” say “Christians should embrace psychology.”
· Instead of saying “My view corresponds with the Colonialist
position,” say “The Colonialist position seems ....”
6. The instructor will not proofread papers, but it is acceptable
for a friend to proofread for clarity, grammar, and spelling.
7. If you need assistance, contact The Online Writing Center.
Paper format:
· Paper text must be 5 pages, excluding references, title page,
and abstract.
· Times New Roman, 12 point font, 1” margins.
· Sections:
· Title page
· Abstract on separate page, mentioning thesis and summary of
the paper. To get the maximum points, be sure to clearly
mention the thesis and provide a summary of the main ideas and
conclusions. Tip: It is often easier to write your abstract at the
end of your paper.
· Body (5 pages): See above; must use APA headings
· References:
· Make sure to use current APA format.
· Do not assume that the format presented by the Jerry Falwell
Library search engine is correct.
· Be sure to cite Entwistle and the Bible (but remember that the

Bible does not appear in the References section).
· Check the current APA style manual for details.
· You must use Microsoft Word.
· Submit your paper to SafeAssign in Blackboard.
Submit your Integration Paper by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of
Module/Week 7.

Abstract According to my book, Entwistle speaks about how
different models shed understanding of God word helps humans
can become more stronger if they follow his works. Although I
found more information regarding theology which is the study
of God and his will and kingdom. Psychology is the study of the
human mind and it is designed to function in this world. Christ
is the way the truth and light, not some scientific method that is
going to heal our thoughts, emotions only the word of God can
soothe our soul with his word. After analyzing the ingratiation
approaches of Christianity and psychology. He clearly stated the
approaches as a subject is normally being avoided because the
existence of two methods that are involved cohesive slightly
containing different topics; 1 CHRISTIANITY AND
PSYCHOLOGY. While most remained being reserved or natural
about the entire matter others have question nor thought in
regards to the concerned subject.
Introduction
According to the literature Entwistle, openly depicts the two as
a fork that is in the road. This saying in most cases it is often
used as an epiphany to widely describe when an individual
wants to make a major life-changing decision and that the
outcome will sometime determine where the journey in life will
take a person. He goes further showing how an individual has

been great against one another because of the involved two
practices ever since the beginning of time frames. Thereafter he
goes beyond explaining to incorporate Blamires the alternative
rendition of the Tertulian’s point of view. “Blamires aids people
to see what they can learn from “sources while they are framing
their thinking with Christians all over the world and also apply
the knowledge with the concern of Christian. 4 BY LOOKING
AT THIS GREAT IDEA HE, THEREFORE, ENTERTAINS THE
POSSIBILITY OF PSYCHOLOGY AND THEOLOGY FOR IT
TO CO-EXISTENCE IN THE SAME AREA BECAUSE OF THE
NATURE OF BOTH TOPICS; ONE IS BASED ON THE
TRUTH AND THE OTHER IS SOLELY FOUNDED ON FAITH.
THAT THERE ARE SPECIFIC CHRISTIAN RESOURCES
THAT UNIQUELY REVEALS CRUCIAL ASPECTS OF WHAT
IT MEANS TO BE HUMAN”. AS ENTWISTLE GOES ON
EXPLORING THE POSSIBILITY OF ADJOINING THE TWO

GOD’S TRUTH” (ENTWISTLE, 2015). THIS IS THE
CENTRAL IDEA TO THE POSITION OF THE ENTWISTLE
THAT PSYCHOLOGY AND CHRISTIANITY ARE TO BE
ALLIED WITH EQUAL SAY IN THE LEVEL OF TRUTH. As
he was exploring this content of truth, he pulls it out from the
historical life or worldwide perspective which affects how
people comprehend or interact and relate to their experience and
the world (Entwistle, 56). Of integrating science, faith and look
and the start of the foundational the beginning of both and also
how scholars of the time frame view either of the topics. 4

BEHAVIOR, AND ALSO HEALING HUMAN BROKENNESS”.
(Entwistle, 2015).
6 METHODS OF KNOWING
The methods of knowing are the techniques of gaining
understanding. There are mainly five methodologies of gaining
an understanding/knowledge. The first method of gaining
knowledge is called intuition (Price, Jhangiani, Chiang,
Leighton & Cuttler, n.d.). Intuition refers to emotions, instincts
or gut feelings that direct an individual. Instead of utilizing
rational thinking, intuition makes a person believe upon what
he/she feels to be true. The most usual technique of gaining an
understanding is an authority. It means that people approve
novel concepts because some of the authorities say that those
concepts are true. These authoritative figures involve the media,
parents, religious authorities, the government, priests, and
professors (Price et al., n.d.).
6 THE THIRD METHOD OF ACQUIRING AN
UNDERSTANDING IS RATIONALISM. Rationalism refers to
the utilization of reasoning and argumentation to gain new
understanding. This technique involves the employment of
described and logical principles to reach at strong inferences.
The fourth method is empiricism (Price et al., n.d.). This
technique involves grasping an understanding with the help of
investigation and encounter. The final technique of knowing is
scientific methodology. This method involves systematic
gathering and assessment of evidence to examine concepts and
respond to queries.
The methods of knowing that are best suited to Christianity are
authority and empiricism. Christians can attain an
understanding of their religion through authority characters.
These authority figures help the people reach at the inferences

that they are not able to understand on their own. To gain a
detailed understanding about biblical scriptures, it is important
for the Christians to seek for an assistance of an authority
figure. Another method of grasping knowledge that is
appropriate for Christians is empiricism. Empiricism makes the
people learn about different concepts through experience and
scrutiny. Christians are depending on empiricism to validate the
events; however, people are restricted in what they investigate
and encounter. For example, people developed the concept of
day and night because it was devised by the God. God named
the light as ‘day’ and darkness as ‘night.’ Christians can
validate their ideas through observation.
4 THE MODELS ENTWISTLE ALSO GIVES SOME IN-DEPTH
VARIOUS BELIEF AND CULTURE SYSTEMS AND THEIR
NATURE ON HOW THEY COME TO BE. AS THE WHOLE
SOCIETY SLOWLY TRANSITIONED FROM THE MODERN
PERSPECTIVE TO POSTMODERN POINT OF VIEW,
EPISTEMOLOGY SET IN AND ALSO CAUSED A RIPPLE IN
THE LOGICAL EMPIRICISM AND REASONING OF THE
WORLD. Entwistle had quest to acquire virtue that he reminds
the reader that by saying that a person is restricted by being
vulnerable to mistakes and the most significant virtue is
possessing a characteristic of having a modest view of one’s
significance. 4 IF PEOPLE FAIL TO EXERCISE THE VALUE
OF HUMILITY, THEY RUN THE RISK OF BEING QUITE
SURE OF THEMSELVES WHICH IS QUITE WRONG. WHEN
THIS IS SAID, HE GOES ON PROVIDING INSIGHTS THAT
HE CLEARLY KNOWS THAT AS A HUMAN RACE PEOPLE
CANNOT DO IT ON THEIR OWN AND THEREFORE,
“INDIVIDUAL MIGHT WANT TO THINK OF CHRISTIAN
PSYCHOLOGY AND THEOLOGY AS INSTRUMENTS IN AN
ORCHESTRA”. (P 131) PEOPLE CAN USE WHAT THEY
NEED SO AS THEY REMAIN IN BALANCE AND BE IN
TUNE WITH THEIR PEERS AND THEIR LOVED ONES.
Furthermore, Entwistle also introduces five models of working;

4 THE REQUIRED FIVE MODELS OF INTEGRATION ARE:
a) Enemies
b) Spies
c) Colonialists
d) Neutral parties
7 E) ALLIES THE INVOLVED SIX MODELS ALWAYS
PSYCHOLOGY IN PARTICULAR. Methods have a way of
studying the environment, of shaping and finding accuracy.
While looking at the connection linking through theology and
psychology usually means the knowledge of the sacred mind
and behavior of a psychological aspect. If I had a facility, I
would approach my client with biblical scripture in order to
help the person to know Gods work and love he has for them.
There are ways to connect with people using scriptures to
coping in everyday living. Psychology has the way of using the
worldview system for non-believers like medication to help a
person to cope with thoughts and emotion. Learning the Allies
model can be great to use in psychology and Christianity while
working in the field.
Strengths of The Allies Model of Integration
According to Entwistle, the major strength if the Allies model is
that it is the most adequate integrative solution on the basis of a
presumption that the truths of God are present in both the word
of God, i.e. the scripture and the work of God, i.e. 6 THE
CREATION (ENTWISTLE, 2015).
Another strength of the Allies model is that it acknowledges
various other methodologies of grasping an understanding
regarding human nature and the world. The model also
identifies the reality that worldviews/religions make an
immense influence on the way the people think (Entwistle,
2015).
Also, the Allies Model takes a holistic approach to observe
human conduct and does not stick merely to Christian lens while

observing human conduct.
8 HOW YOUR MODEL VIEWS THE TWO BOOKS CONCEPT;
After reading the allies model view concerning the two books
my thought was distinct, and I think that the chapters must be
viewed in knowledge and ability to modify the methods; though,
individually agreement on people to compromising what should
be forbidden because it could conduct to reviewers to observe
further common assumptions.
Limitation of the Model
The first limitation of the Allies Model is that it refutes the
assertion of the Enemies model that theology and psychology
are mutually independent. This model connects psychology and
Christianity with each other. 9 THE CRITICS ARE AGAINST
THIS IDEA BECAUSE THEY THINK THAT THESE TWO
ARE NOT COMPATIBLE TO EACH OTHER (MYERS, JONES,
ROBERTS, WATSON, COE, HALL, & POWLISON, 2010).
Another major weakness of the model is that it has faced
troubles in integrating varying Christian ideologies.
Conclusion
5 BASED ON THE CHAPTER THAT CONCLUDES THE
HE CHOSE IT. He explains his whole preferences and their
after introduces the two books of God’s truth, to which they are
God’s word (scripture) and God’s Work (creation), which
fatherly and clearly explain his whole reasoning and also why
he come to choose the allies model. 4 IN MOST OF THE
CASES HE ALWAYS SEEMED TO TAKE A FIRM BELIEF IN
THAT IN THIS REAL LIFE, PEOPLE ARE LIMITED IN
THEIR ASSUMPTIONS AND OPINIONS BUT WITH GOD’S
WORD AND THE BOOK OF HIS WORK, THEY WILL HELP
PEOPLE ALONG THE WAY.
