In the story while Pi drifts at sea, and is exposed to a ‘soulless condition, ‘he prays to an undefined god and pleads for salvation and protection. So the prayer gives him comfort and a feeling of relief. In addition to Pi being heavily involved in religious beliefs, he demonstrates irrational behavior as he becomes cannibalism while he was on the raft.

By knowing the definition of these integration models, one can better understand how others approach integration. In doing so, the author also refers to two books of God, the Book of God's Word (the Bible) and the Book of God's Works (His creation). Enemies do not believe integration to be possible. Spies tend to "piece together" information from both psychology and theology to come up with something that they could believe in and helps others in the process.

Summary In the book, Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity, Entwistle examines two disciplines that share an interest in how human beings function. He goes in depth about the worldviews, models of integration, and philosophical foundations that shape the relationship between psychology and theology.

Many people would not agree that Christianity and theology cannot be integrated, but in actuality it can.
