This book winsomely explores the significance of theology and the Christian faith for the practice of psychology.

"Theology for Psychology and Counseling is a superb resource for the contemporary integration movement. I can think of no other book where the authors have such deep knowledge of both theology and psychology, yet they write in a way that is approachable, engaging, and accessible to all. This should be one of the most important integration books of the decade."
--Mark R. McMinn, George Fox University

"Science-engaged theology has become a popular buzz phrase of late; however, theology-engaged psychological science has not been pursued as vigorously--until now. Callaway and Whitney argue compellingly and convincingly that theology is meaningful because it is about what matters most for human life and offers genuine value to psychological science."
--Robert Emmons, University of California, Davis (emeritus); editor in chief of The Journal of Positive Psychology

"Theology for Psychology and Counseling provides psychologists with a foundational and holistic understanding of how core tenets and principles from Christian theology can inform and improve counseling and clinical practice. This is the first accessible text that helps students think about how to integrate Christian faith and psychology written by actual theologians who are also trained in psychology--a long-awaited addition to the conversation!"
--Sarah Schnitker, Baylor University

"Callaway and Whitney generously invite psychology students to the constructive adventure of doing theology in a way that advocates for and learns from psychology--most distinctively in their strong account of God the Spirit's wider presence. Winsomely written and knowledgeable about the fields of study, this book gives us biblical and theological integration at its boldest."
--Andy Draycott, Talbot School of Theology

"Callaway and Whitney's book is at once a warm welcome and an uncomfortable challenge to think with clarity and depth about how Christian theology can motivate and guide one's work as a psychologist."
--Justin Barrett, author of Thriving with Stone Age Minds: Evolutionary Psychology, Christian Faith, and the Quest for Human Flourishing
