Summary: | Psychology has systematically entered and even taken possession of the field (sphere) of
Biblical counselling. A number of studies have already been assumed regarding theology
and psychology. The underlying problem remains: which theology is compared with
which psychological paradigm.
The reformed pastor finds his grounding in the five solae of the reformation as it is
named in the formulae of unity.
Four paradigms are recognized in psychology. Each has its own key figure. The doctrine
and life of these key figures have been examined. The finding was that these people,
inclusively, had above average exposure to Scripture and has yet denied it at the cost of a
faith in the capability of the individual to work his own salvation.
The result is that none of these paradigms is reconcilable with the reformed pastorate === Thesis (M.A. (Theology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2006.
