Section 1: Integration Models & Theoretical Frameworks
Q1: Dr. Carter and Dr. Narramore proposed three primary ways Christians have
historically related psychology and theology. Which of the following best represents
their "Christian psychology" level?
A. Psychology and theology operate in completely separate domains with no overlap
B. Psychology is useful for Christians only when it has been explicitly baptized with
Scripture verses
C. Psychology and Christian faith are integrated into a unified framework where
theological commitments shape psychological theory [CORRECT]
D. Psychology is rejected entirely because Scripture alone provides all necessary
answers for human problems
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The best answer is C. Carter and Narramore's Christian psychology level
doesn't keep the two fields separate or hostile; instead, it builds a framework where your
theological commitments actually inform and shape how you think about psychology
from the ground up.
Q2: In Entwistle's integrative model, which group views psychology and Christianity as
"allies" working together toward common goals?
A. The "enemies" who believe the two fields are fundamentally opposed
B. The "spies" who borrow from psychology without acknowledging it
C. Those who see both disciplines as complementary partners in understanding human
nature [CORRECT]
D. The "colonialists" who believe psychology must be conquered by theology
,Correct Answer: C
Rationale: This choice is correct because Entwistle's "allies" model treats psychology
and faith as partners that can learn from each other rather than viewing them as
combatants or keeping them in separate silos.
Q3: You're working with a client and decide to explicitly address their spiritual formation
alongside their anxiety symptoms, drawing on psychological interventions and prayer as
part of the treatment plan. Which integration model are you most closely reflecting?
A. The "parallel" model where psychology and spirituality never interact
B. Mark McMinn's approach weaving psychology, theology, and spirituality together in
practice [CORRECT]
C. The "against" model that rejects all psychological concepts
D. A strictly secular model that ignores spiritual questions entirely
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: This choice is correct because McMinn's integrative practice intentionally
brings psychological interventions into the same room with spiritual formation and
theological understanding, rather than keeping them on separate tracks.
Q4: In the "Five Views" book edited by Eric Johnson, which contributor argues that
psychology should be rethought from the ground up using biblical categories as the
starting point?
A. Stanton Jones
B. David Powlison [CORRECT]
C. Robert C. Roberts
D. Paul Watson
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: This choice is correct because David Powlison, representing the biblical
counseling view, argues that Scripture provides a sufficient framework for
understanding people and their problems, and psychology needs to be rebuilt on biblical
foundations rather than imported wholesale.
Q5: Diane Langberg is best known in the integration literature for which area of
specialization?
A. Biblical counseling and the sufficiency of Scripture
B. Family systems and structural therapy
, C. Trauma, abuse, and the integration of psychological care with the compassion of
Christ [CORRECT]
D. Cognitive-behavioral techniques for anxiety disorders
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: This choice is correct because Diane Langberg has made her mark
specifically in the area of trauma and abuse, bringing together deep clinical
understanding with a Christian vision of healing and the gentle presence of Christ in
suffering.
Q6: Which integration model essentially says psychology and theology should run on
parallel tracks, neither conflicting nor really interacting?
A. The "against" model
B. The "of" model
C. The "parallel" model [CORRECT]
D. The "transformational" model
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: This choice is correct because the parallel model keeps psychology and faith
in separate lanes—they don't fight, but they don't really talk to each other either, which is
quite different from the integration or transformational approaches.
Q7: Dr. Stanton Jones, representing the "levels of explanation" view, would most likely
agree with which statement?
A. Psychology is demonic and must be rejected by Christians
B. Psychology and theology ask different questions and operate at different levels of
explanation, so they can coexist without contradiction [CORRECT]
C. All psychological theories must be rewritten using biblical language before Christians
can use them
D. Psychology has nothing to offer that theology doesn't already provide more
completely
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The best answer is B. Jones's levels of explanation view suggests that
psychology and theology aren't competing for the same turf—they answer different
kinds of questions and can both be true without stepping on each other's toes.
