The main idea of this model is the total integration of theology and psychology, or what can be referred to as interdisciplinary integration. The goal is to form a proper interpretation of psychology through a Christian worldview. The secondary goal is to live out the Christian life personally and in the workplace. "We believe that Jesus Christ is Savior and Lord of all of life" (Johnson, p. 102). The integration view posits that God is glorified through the use of His truth. One problem with buying into a total integration view is that it tends to legitimize all viewpoints of psychology as equally true. Like other models, this model places a high importance on scientific research. It, unlike some views, looks to faith to interpret psychological ideas. This is a very engaging view. It appears to seek out engagement with the society.
