The questions on the CLEP Introductory Psychology exam adhere to the terminology, criteria, and classifications referred to in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).

Learning Targets. Clear and measurable Learning Targets appear in statement form at the beginning of each module to provide students with a snapshot preview of the section material, while allowing them to check their understanding before moving on. The objectives are repeated in an engaging question form in context within the module, and then used at the end of each module for review.
A Margin Glossary provides a point-of-use highlight of the vocabulary students need to realize success on the AP exam.
Check Your Understanding. These features, found at the end of major sections of text, include Apply the Concept questions, which encourage students to apply new concepts to their own experiences, as well as Examine the Concept questions (with answers in Appendix E) that assess mastery and encourage big-picture thinking.
Module Reviews repeat the Learning Target questions and address them with a bulleted summary of key concepts covered throughout the module.

"The second edition of Exploring Psychology and Christian Faith is exceptional. Moes and Tellinghuisen invite the reader to reflect as Christians on an array of topics in the field of psychology. This is an excellent resource for introducing students to the relationship between their faith and the study of psychology."
"Speaking as an undergraduate professor of twenty-five years, I can say that writing a book aimed at beginning college students is not for the fainthearted! It requires the ability to communicate complex concepts with clarity and to do so in a way that engages students and, ideally, invites self-reflection. Moes and Tellinghuisen have checked all the boxes. My undergraduate students have been enthusiastic about the first edition, and the second edition shows promise of being even more inspiring."
"Psychologists Paul Moes and Donald Tellinghuisen are uniquely equipped to engage and critique psychological science from a distinctly Christian perspective. Their five-theme approach offers a systematic strategy for Christians to think seriously and productively about the implications of their faith for understanding contemporary psychology, one of God's great gifts for those curious about human nature. This is a cogent, thorough book that will prove insightful and illuminating for Christians seeking a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of themselves and others. Strongly recommended."
"In this fresh edition, Moes and Tellinghuisen provide a faithful and fruitful framework for rigorous engagement with the psychological science of human behavior and mental processes. They emphasize five themes of human nature. These themes are used as a framework that aids readers in considering psychology research and theories spanning neuroscience and cognitive, developmental, social, personality, experimental, and clinical psychology. An excellent resource with lasting value!"
"Moes and Tellinghuisen do an excellent job of exploring the sometimes difficult issues raised by faith and psychological science. The text is accessible and interesting while being thoughtful and sophisticated. There are no easy answers here, just careful thinking about the issues with an even-handed presentation of multiple perspectives. They make a good argument that Christians should be thoughtful and engaged people of faith and science, of Scripture and psychological research. This book is useful for both introductory courses in psychology and upper-level courses in the integration of science and faith."
