Christian counselors primarily focus on exposing and eradicating sin in the life of the counselee.

Help the client with a rational understanding of his/her problems

Help the client understand the basis for morality

Help the client to stand on his/her own

Realize that the client may have a very relativistic outlook on life

Question 5 5 / 5 pts The lecture talked about levels of integration. What is an INCORRECT statement from that discussion?

As part of interdisciplinary integration, we would study biblical interpretation but also become an expert in the process of empirical science

We need to know our basic assumptions about life—or worldview

We realize that truth fits together no matter the source

We focus solely on the cognitive process of how we are discovering truth, rather than how we are living as a counselor

Question 6 5 / 5 pts In arguing for the value of integration, the lectures suggested the following:

Science has shown supremacy since many historical teachings of the church (such as opposition to Galileo’s heliocentric view) have been proven wrong,

The church is correct in its suspicion/rejection of science which is largely rooted in naturalistic assumptions

The church should recognize that God can reveal truth through psychology, and secular psychologist should accept that spirituality is an important part of the solution to human problems

Tertullian’s statement (“What hath Athens. . . “) demonstrated that simply accepting the gospel should solve all psychological and emotional problems

Question 7 5 / 5 pts Epistemology, according to the lecture is

The study of humanity which provide a model for Christian growth.

The idea that truth can be discovered through logic, rational discourse, empirical methods, and/or special revelation found in Scripture.

A branch of knowledge that places Scripture as the only way to know truth.

Question 8 5 / 5 pts According to the lecture, the term “spirituality” denotes primarily

The process of reaching into a sense of solitude, hospitality and prayer.

A vague undefined term used in common language

Equivalence to “life in the Spirit of Christ.”

The manifestation of forces of supernatural quality

Question 9 5 / 5 pts The lectures in week one referred to Jay Adams (the founder of Nouthetic counseling) when discussing t he biblical foundation/worldview of Christian counseling. What did the lecture emphasize in that discussi on, based on Adam's perspective?

We may gain insights from psychology and psychological theories but God’s word is still our primary authority and our “lens” to view other sources.

As we work with clients, we should primarily focus on our fallen nature and the effects of sin on our behavior.

True change comes solely as a result of human to human support and encouragement.

Christian counseling is more of a profession than a “calling” in the body of Christ.

Question 10 5 / 5 pts Christian counseling, based in theology, would identify sin as ultimately behind human problems. In contrast, psychology would emphasize

Illness or psychopathology

Lack of understanding of the data

God as ultimate healer

A process of redemption

Question 11 5 / 5 pts The lectures explain that ways of knowing (epistemologies) can be limited. What is a true statement based on that discussion?

As we search for truth, we need to realize that our thinking can be flawed and be willing to allow others to challenge our thinking and conclusions

We can never claim to know any truth for sure

Even though we are under a lot of emotional pressure, we still generally think clearly

Most of the time, people take into account their biases, presuppositions, and worldview when determining what is really true

Question 12 5 / 5 pts The lectures tried to build a case for integrating psychology and theology for the betterment of the client. What is an argument that was emphasized in the lectures?

We do not have a choice not to integrate multiple sources of truth

Christian counselors should be intentional about finding connecting points of truth in both psychology and theology

In spite of a largely naturalistic philosophy, psychology still has many resources to help hurting clients

All of these are valid points

Question 13 5 / 5 pts The lecture emphasized that the way we interpret behavior has a lot to do with our worldview, and a lot to do with our expectations of our clients. What is true based on the lecture discussion?

The worldview of most secular psychologists would suggest that a primary reason for personal problems is a lack of coping skills

Counselors operating with a Christian worldview would point to a dysfunctional environment as the source of problems

Counselors operating with a Christian worldview would look for a solution to problems by freeing our “true selves”

Question 14 5 / 5 pts The lectures provided a brief introduction to the models of integration (based on Niebuhr’s Christ and Culture). What did we learn from that introduction?

Secular combatants, such as Freud and Ellis, would accept spirituality but would be concerned that “religion” is an inappropriate way of dealing with problems

A “spy” has a psychological worldview but also would accept and believe the tenets of the Christian faith

One criticism of the colonialists position is that adherents would use certain psychological principles or theories but would not admit the necessity for empirical verification of the psychology “findings”

Those who hold to an Allies model of integration would deny that there are apparent contradictions between psychology and theology
