relationships can be ascertained from many different arenas of knowledge with varying degrees of truth. Psychology and Christianity both house extensive truth on life. In Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity: An Introduction to Worldview Issues, Philosophical Foundations, and Models of Integration, Entwistle (2010) argued for the blending of psychology and Christianity, believing that together they can best answer the questions of humanity. God’s great power is proudly depicted throughout

His greatest contribution was the development of Newtonian physics--a worldview that broke with ancient and medieval conceptions of how the world functioned in relation to the cosmos. Among the thinkers most influenced by Newton was John Locke. Locke is remembered as one of the first empirical philosophers, specifically
Summary In an article written by professors at Xi’an Jiaotong University, China and University of Engineering and Technology, Pakistan, they explore the three prominent leadership styles and how those styles motivate employees working in an autonomous, government controlled organization within Pakistan, the Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA).
