The authors offer broad summaries of prevailing worldviews which provide foundations for psychology. They include such a "dual-kingdom" models (sacred vs secular), natural vs spiritual worlds, and the influences of various Christian traditions. Then they move to Christian "approaches that take psychology and theology seriously on their own terms."
Moes and Rick explain the transformation of purely secular psychology that occurs when this science comes from a Christian viewpoint. Themes that produce a humanizing metamorphosis include integration of science with Christian/biblical values, taking human agency seriously.
This textbook is suitable for psychology courses in Christian universities and as a student reference. Thoughtful discussion questions at the end of each chapter and an extensive bibliography provide resources for further study and classroom interactions or assignments.
