PSYC 431 Integration of Faith & Psychology

This course considers the relationship between psychology and Christian theology. It provides students with opportunities to explore the concepts and meanings that each utilizes to understand the human condition. The course invites reflection on multiple levels beginning with foundational philosophical assumptions (i.e. ontological, epistemological, and axiological) before considering specific knowledge claims and practical applications drawn from them. It considers convergent and divergent meanings while facilitating each student’s integrative efforts.
