The modern church faces a lack of confidence in the sufficiency and reliability of the Bible. This is just as true for the pastor offering counsel in his office as it is for the layperson talking with a friend at a coffee shop, or the small group leader unsure of what to say to a hurting group member. Scripture and Counseling seeks to confirm our confidence in God’s Word as sufficient to address the real life of ever day. We need to understand how the Bible equips us to grow in counseling competence as we use it to tackle the complex issues of life.
20 ministry leaders develop a robust biblical view of Scripture’s sufficiency for life and assist readers in learning how to use Scripture in the counseling process. The contributors blend theological wisdom with practical expertise, valuable for pastors, church leaders, counselors, and students—equipping them to minister with the truth and power of God’s word in the context of counseling, leadership, and pastoral care.
