AB - The purpose of this study is to present the doctrine of common grace as a ground of the integration of Theology and Psychology in order to overcome the weakness of general revelation. Historically, several scholars have presented general revelation as a foundation for integration on the basis of the old saying, “truth is God’s truth.” The claim that psychological research, which is a realm of general revelation, can achieve unity with God’s truth was disputed by arguing that the purpose of general revelation is to reveal the existence of God through the created world and to prevent people from excusing that they did not know God. In addition, the attempt to include the findings of other sciences into general revelation was negated by the analysis of hermeneutics for general revelation. God gives common grace to human beings by bestowing them with reason and understanding despite of the Fall through the Holy Spirit. Also, this paper presented the fitness of common grace as a foundation for the integration of Theology and Psychology by examining the statements of Calvin, Bavinck, and Kuyper who argued that Theology develops by the help of common grace and it can gain benefit through the psychological research.
