According to Stark, the motive of God’s glory provided the ideological basis for the Scientific Revolution. Smith argues that by the time that revolution began to spread to the human sciences in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, another revolution was emerging, with which the human sciences have become thoroughly confounded, the Secular Revolution. Following MacIntyre, Johnson suggests that this confounding has created a crisis for the Christian intellectual and soul-care traditions, but one that was largely self-inflicted. One of the consequences of this crisis has been a serious wound/division in the Christian body regarding the relation between the Bible, and its theocentric worldview and way of life, and the current form of psychology and the therapeutic sciences (psychiatry, psychotherapy, and counseling). In this article, reasons are given for imagining one way the glory of God could again become a supreme motive among Christians in Western science, specifically psychology and the therapeutic sciences, that would help to overcome the current biblical knowledge/empirical knowledge dichotomy that afflicts the Christian community in these fields and could unify and empower it to develop Christian alternatives to their mainstream versions.

斯塔克认为，上帝荣耀的动机为科学革命提供了意识形态基础。史密斯（Smith）辩称，当革命在1800年代末和1900年代初开始蔓延到人文科学时，又出现了另一场革命，世俗革命被人类科学彻底混淆了。。继麦金太尔之后，约翰逊暗示这种混淆对基督教知识分子和心灵保健传统造成了危机，但这种危机在很大程度上是自我造成的。这场危机的后果之一是基督教徒身体严重受伤/分裂，这涉及圣经与其圣经中心世界观和生活方式之间的关系，以及当前的心理学和治疗学形式（精神病学，心理疗法和咨询）。在这篇文章中，我们给出了理由来想象一种方式，即上帝的荣耀可以再次成为西方科学，尤其是心理学和治疗学领域的基督徒的最高动机，
