FINAL PAPER ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
Undoubtedly, as you read through the five viewpoints on the relationship between psychology
and Christianity, you agreed with portions of each viewpoint and disagreed with other portions.
Additionally, as you read Creation Regained by Wolters (2005), you likely saw the relevance of
viewing human phenomena through the lens of the Grand Narrative. This Final Paper
Assignment is the capstone project of this course, in which you will present your view of the
relationship between psychological science and a biblical worldview. Using the examples that
you’ve seen in Johnson’s (2010) text, write your viewpoint of this relationship and how it will
affect how you do research in your specific research area.
