Intregration (Part 1)
Biblical Counsel for a ChangeSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg explores the integration of psychology and Christianity, highlighting the potential dangers of merging secular psychological theories with biblical teachings. He argues that psychology is not a neutral science and should not be mixed with divinely revealed religion. Gregg raises concerns about the use of psychological theories in addressing human problems and emphasizes the importance of relying on Scripture for spiritual guidance. He cautions against syncretism and suggests that psychology does not have the answers to all moral and spiritual issues, encouraging individuals to seek Christian perspectives on matters such as coping with death and finding peace.
