This article reviews and critiques the article, A Reformed Evangelical Approach to Developmental Psychology and the Bible, by Ebenezer A. de Oliveira. Although the authors agree with de Oliveira’s intent of clarifying definitions in integration literature, the authors contend that de Oliveira ultimately failed in his attempt and violated the same principles he attempted to correct. The authors attempt to clarify (1) de Oliveira’s critique of integration, (2) challenge his Reformed position within the Christian community and (3) expose the fallacies de Oliveira employed to defend his positions.
