Harry:
Excellent point. I've developed a friendship with a Biblical Studies
professor here at our university and during our conversations together I
am frequently humbled by my lack of knowledge, in this case, about
biblical principles. I still enjoy thinking about and discussing the
integration of psychology and theology, but I am sometimes painfully
aware of my own ignorance on the topic. Guess it's time to go back to
school...

Subject: Sin, psychology and Philosophy
Imagine a parallel universe where there is a listserve called
TIPS which
stands for Teaching in Philosophy and Science. We are observing
a discussion
among philosophers debating the meaning of memory. We would
undoubtedly be
amused by their naivete and lack of familiarity with the
relevant
literature. This discussion on "sin" in psychology would, I
submit, be
equally "amusing" to those who are knowledgeable about the
subject,
philosphers and theologians. I spent a summer at the University
of
Salamance, studying Spanish, and used to fantasize what it must
have be like
in the late 1300s when the University of Salamanca had Arab,
Jewish and
Christian faculty debating philosophical issues. I suspect they
would have
sent anyone using the arguments on this thread back to
undergraduate
classes.
No offense intended. I am just as guilty as anyone else.
