The purpose of this article is to explore Bube's “levels of description” approach to the integration of science and Christian faith with respect to its implications for the integration of psychology and theology. It is proposed that Bube's model provides a broad conceptual foundation upon which other aspects of integration may be profitably constructed. Some specific implications of this model for experimental. professional, and intra-personal integration are suggested.
