AB - There are a number of schools in the modern Christianity counseling field which criticize or complement one another through mutual debates. The most fierce debate subject is about how to approach psychology. In fact, there are various opinions about how to approach psychology among scholars of Christian counseling. Some of them support counseling based on psychology while others support counseling based on the Bible principles. An integrated model that integrates Christianity and psychology has emerged only recently. The term “Integration” in this field was firstly coined by Fritz Kunkel. After him, the integration between Christianity and psychology has been confused with many difficulties. Some scholars have preferred a theoretical approach whereas others have preferred a practical approach. Some scholars have paid attention to how to integrate them whereas others have paid more attention to what to integrate. Therefore, it is not easy to define the direction of the integration in short since the approach and opinions of the integration vary. The integration of Christianity and psychology is as important to human lives as the integration of theory and application, faith and practice, and politics and economy. This study aimed to re-highlight and evaluate the integration model of the Christianity counseling from the viewpoint of the biblical counseling. To achieve this goal, history, concepts, and opinions of the integration en the Christianity counseling were discussed first in this study. Moreover, the integration models of various scholars were reviewed. The integration model of the Christianity counseling was re-highlighted from the biblical counseling point of view. This paper is organized mainly with three parts. The first part is about various opinions of the integration. The second part is about the integration models. The third part is to re-highlight the integration model with biblical counseling viewpoints. Through this paper, opinions and models of the integration were understood and the integration of the Christianity counseling was re-highlighted and evaluated from the biblical counseling viewpoints. The findings are as follows. First, the truth of the Bible, which contains the precise Words of God, should not be altered due to the integration. Second, the authority of the Bible should not be treated like psychology. Third, psychological knowledge and information that conflict with the biblical view of the world are not acceptable. Fourth, psychology and counseling should be re-illuminated through a biblical lens. Fifth, psychological theories and information can be used as long as they do not contradict biblical teachings.
