That being said, I would love to see the empirical data that lead to the suspicion that many Christian Psychologists are "mainline" Calvinists. That Calvin College has a psychology department is hardly relevant, particularly since Calvin College has become a lot more liberal over the years.
I would love to see you take the Religion Moderator's admonitions seriously by seeing you refrain from the type of divisive, generalized, thread jumping posts like the one I responded to.
Have a nice day, Marlowe...and the last word if you wish.
I do apologize for thinking that only the fringe or extreme Calvinists would be wholesale opposed to the idea of Christian Psychology. And I was unaware of the apostacy of Calvin College from the mainstream of Calvinist thought.
I guess I'll just have to assume that being opposed to Christian Psychology is part and parcel of being a mainstream Calvinist. Must be in the institutes someplace, eh?
Since I brought Calvin College into the mix (I think I gave the reference first) let me just say that I don't necessary see this as a Calvin/non-Calvin issue.
I believe there are good aspects to Christian psychology and I believe their are honest, committee Christian psychologists. I happen to know a few.
But, as with anything else we get in trouble when taken to the extreme. When psychology replaces Scripture, that's problematic. When psychology is viewed in the light of Scripture, that's a different story.
