2 RESPONSE Responses To: Chris Subject: Psychology Studies Dear Chris: I understand that you believe that studying psychology it is a waste of effort studying human wisdom as it expressed through psychology. At the same time, you wonder why to research something else that is not fundamentally Christian. The best explanation for studying psychology is that it will help to create a better understanding of humanity but in a Christian concept. Furthermore, through this course, it will be easier to apply psychological concepts to ensure a better understanding of how the human brain works and how human beings reason. Through a study of psychology in the Christian based environment, this will provide a better understanding of self as well as social behavior, and this will be helpful in all aspects of human life. It will help to gain a better understanding of mental health as well as the mental performance of individuals and at the same time ensure holistic concepts are used for better understanding. I hope you understand my viewpoint. Best Regards, Paul. To: Jamie Subject: Psychology and Spirituality
3 RESPONSE Dear Jamie, You need to understand that integrating the Bible in these studies will help to give a better understanding of the spiritual aspects of psychology. It will also create a conducive atmosphere for learning in a conducive environment. Though recent scientific evidence will be useful in this study, it will be helpful to understand how to integrate spirituality into the survey and ensure better outcomes in education. Furthermore, it will be essential to understand the practicality of applying spiritual concepts to psychology. The study of psychology in a Christian environment is beneficial, as it will prepare the individual for the vocation of psychology based on an understanding of spiritual concepts. Through this, it will ensure positive outcomes for both the psychologist as well as the client. Therefore studying psychology in a Christian college will lead to the holistic development of the individual and ensure positive outcomes from the course. I hope your viewpoint. Best Regards, Paul.
