How are Christians to understand and undertake the discipline of psychology? This question has been of keen interest (and sometimes concern) to Christians because of the importance we place on a correct understanding of human nature. Psychology can sometimes seem disconnected from, if not antithetical to, Christian perspectives on life. How are we to understand our Christian beliefs about persons in relation to secular psychological beliefs? This revised edition of a widely appreciated text now presents five models for understanding the relationship between psychology and Christianity. All the essays and responses have been reworked and updated with some new contributors including the addition of a new perspective, the transformative view from John Coe and Todd Hall (Biola University). Also found here is David Powlison (Westminster Theological Seminary) who offers the biblical counseling model. The levels-of-explanation model is advanced by David G. Myers (Hope College), while Stanton L. Jones (Wheaton College) offers an entirely new chapter presenting the integration model. The Christian psychology model is put forth by Robert C. Roberts (Baylor University) now joined by Paul J. Watson (University of Tennesee, Chattanooga). Each of the contributors responds to the other essayists, noting points of agreement as well as problems they see. Eric L. Johnson provides a revised introduction that describes the history of Christians and psychology, as well as a conclusion that considers what might unite the five views and how a reader might evaluate the relative strengths and weaknesses of each view. Psychology and Christianity Five Views has become a standard introductory textbook for students and professors of Christian psychology. This revision promises to keep it so.

"This is a good resource to help the Christian pastor, counselor, or layperson frame the different integration arguments. This us a complex subject but Five Views and Eric Johnson do a good job of presenting each position. Unfortunately, the material includes mention of Exodus International, the failed gay conversion therapy ministry. Even still, this is a good resource for understanding integration views."

• This book helps us understand the tension between Christianity and psychology. It is well written and researched. The five authors give a clear picture of their differences by countering each other's arguments. It is a must read for Christians on either side of the debate, especially for those who are not aware of middle ground views. For many, the debate is between rejecting or accepting psychology. For others, it is about finding a new pathway between the two. This book points out that there are good options.
  
  These options may be helpful for those looking to reconcile psychology with the Christian faith. The views here are proposed by psychologists who deeply love God and care for humanity. They all seem to have a strong desire to help broken people. It is worth reading, and may even help you reconsider a new perspective, a more balanced view, or a new position. I highly recommend it!
• We read sections of this in a class at college. My favorite was the chapter on the Transformational Psychology view. It tracks very well with my Catholic Faith and my desire to help others 'flourish' in their own lives. It gives reviews/discussion/opinions on five different theories of psychology and practice, and seems to be a good resource.
• Does the job seem to be good quality
  fits my mountain bike well
• This is a good resource to help the Christian pastor, counselor, or layperson frame the different integration arguments. This us a complex subject but Five Views and Eric Johnson do a good job of presenting each position. Unfortunately, the material includes mention of Exodus International, the failed gay conversion therapy ministry. Even still, this is a good resource for understanding integration views.
• I use this as a text book in an introductory class in a counseling program at a Christian University. Exploring the tensions between faith and science, theology and psychology, is a crucial and ongoing question that every Christian counselor has to address. This book provides valuable perspectives to inform the discuss.
  Of particular value is the format. Proponents of the 5 View each present their case...then they all critique each other. I learn about as much about each view from watching how they critique the others as I do from reading about the view itself!
• The book provides a nice overview for those who aren't afraid of combining their faith with science. It presents five different ways that people do this (although you are not limited to these). Each view has its strengths and weaknesses and the book points these out in a nice way. Worth looking into if you're curious and/or want some guidance on how to be a Christian Psychologist/Counselor.
• It will make you think.
• Seller did a great job delivering the book. The book is a tough read, but it's a lot of great information if you can follow the authors. Highly recommend to anyone that particularly is interested in the philosophy behind viewpoints.
