Abstract
This article examines the issue of integration and proposes a typology of four different kinds of integration: interdisciplinary, intradisciplinary, faith-praxis, and experiential integration. The elaboration of the nature of each type of integration includes specific implications for Christians. The proposal is intended to clarify the integration discussion and stimulate dialogue on these important issues.
