Abstract:

In this rejoinder to Lawson and Wilcox, I first summarize my 2004 article, “A Reformed Evangelical Approach to Developmental Psychology and the Bible,” and then I clarify five points raised by my interactants and demonstrate that we agree in that there is no hierarchy in sources, truths, or disciplines. What set us apart is my support to the Reformed view of Scripture as standing above all other media for organizing, expounding, and disseminating ideas on God and His creation (i.e., hierarchical view), and also my caution towards natural reason as a necessary and sufficient basis for integration, once one assumes neatly demarcated data sets (e.g., Bible, creation) and respective fields of study (e.g., theology, psychology).
