Abstract
Many Christian psychologists have been motivated to relate psychology and the teachings of the Bible. However, this task has met with limited success for a variety of reasons, some of which include the secular zeitgeist within which we operate, a lack of unanimity in the Christian psychological community regarding the place of the Bible in psychology and how to go about relating the two, and an inadequate understanding of the nature of psychological science as well as the Bible and theology. After dealing with some of these issues, eight roles that the Bible might serve within psychology are presented.
