In Indonesia, dualism and secularism have posed serious challenges to theological higher education in particular. These challenges have led to a dis-integration and mis-integration between theology and science and have resulted in confusion, hypocrisy, paralysis, and theological stagnation. This study on the integration of theology and science, using integrative research methods, attempts to find an analytical-synthetic integration model that provides an introduction to integrative studies, such as sophitheology, sociotheology, biotheology, ecotheology, physicotheology, and anthropotheology. These integrative studies would hopefully enable theologians and scientists to reverse the negative influence of dualism and secularism that tends to lead to debate, division, and hostility and to restore theology and science to their original roles as God has intended them for the benefit of humanity.
