Discusses the differences between “positivist and scientistic” and “ post-positivist and humanistic

Respond to BOTH discussion board questions as an original post (2 original posts are required). Two response posts are required.

(1) From the textbook reading this week, what implications do you think that a Biblical worldview of creation, the fall, redemption, and consummation have for the study of psychology as a science? (an important question with a drive for psychology to be viewed more as a scientific discipline within the field)

Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity by David Entwistle

(2) OPTION 1: From the VanLeewen article, the author discusses the differences between “positivist and scientistic” and “ post-positivist and humanistic” philosophies of psychology.Which do you think is most congruent with your personal faith tradition? OPTION 2: Hill’s article provides a realist model that argues against VanLeewen’s article. You can also formulate a post that answers the question, “how does the realist model/Hill react to VanLeewen’s ideas?” Only one post (option 1 or option 2) is required for the second original post this week.
