3. According to Entwistle, what does the Enemies model of integration (Secular Combatants
subtype) assert?
Religious worldview cannot achieve its end; it is an enemy to scientific development.
religion is the enemy of psychology
4. According to Entwistle, what does the Neutral Parties model (also known as the Levels
of Explanation model) assert?
There can be no actual conflict between faith and psychology because
they occupy distinct and non-interacting spheres.
psychology and theology are completely independent disciplines; However there may
be parallels between the findings of psychology and theology.
5. According to Entwistle, what does the Allies model assert? All truth is God’s truth
God is the author of all truth and all things are "by him, for him" and "hold together" in Him
6. Which of the following BEST describes McMinn’s view of the relationship between
Christian counseling models and the scientific method?
theories of counseling should be enhanced or modified by our Christian values
Christian counseling models need empirical investigation to evaluate them
, 2
• Sometimes Christian counselors act as if their methods have been
scientifically validated or as if they do not need to be scientifically validated.
These are dangerous views that sometimes alienate Christian counselors
from their colleagues. Christian counselors who wish to be accurately
understood in their profession must use the language of science that is
common to their profession. Christian counselors must demonstrate
scientifically the unique interventions Christian counselors use in the
counseling office and their effectiveness. Research evidence regarding
spiritual-guidance techniques in counseling is sparse and needs to be a high
priority for the Christian counseling movement.
7. What is one difference between Entwistle’s Spies model and his Colonialists model?
Colonialists differ from the domestic resident version of the spies paradigm in that
they adhere to a conservative or orthodox Christian theological system rather than a
liberal, neo-orthodox, or more broadly religious positon.
colonialists adhere to conservative or orthodox Christian theological system rather than a
liberal, neo-orthodox or more broadly "religious" position. Spies see all religious systems as
psychological phenomena
8. Which of Entwistle’s models emphasizes God’s Word over God’s Works?
Colonialists they selectively include, reject, and relabel psychological findings to reflect the
theological perspective of the model builder
9. Consider this definition: The integration of psychology and Christianity is a multifaceted
attempt to discern the underlying truths about the nature and functioning of human
beings from the unique vantage points of psychology (in its various sub-disciplines,
utilizing diverse methodologies) and Christianity (in theology, faith, and practice). Which
of Entwistle’s models best fits this definition?
Allies as Subjects of One Soverign (Integration Model)
10. In relation to Christian counselors and spiritual techniques, McMinn argues what?
Spiritual reformation matters as much to integration as the secular and
spiritual techniques used in counseling.
value-neutral counseling is a myth,....professional behaviors are important, but a value-
laden process (counseling) must also rely on personal qualities and perspectives that come
from years of faithful training in the spiritual disciplines.
11. According to Entwistle, what is an epistemological assumption made by the
Enemies model (Christian Combatants version)?
Christians who turn to psychology for help are denying the sufficiency of Christ. They
believe that only Christians can fully understand the soul, and psychologists are
misleading people.
1) Psychology and religion (Christianity) are fundamentally incompatible.
2) Rejection and Eradication.
3) Nouthetic Counseling—people are not sick but sinful, the use of psychology is
idolatrous, the care of the soul belongs solely to the church, Scripture is
sufficient for all psychological needs.
