Synopsis

What role does Scripture play in counseling? Today, we face a weakening of confidence in the Bible. This is just as true for the pastor offering counsel in his office as it is for the person in the pew talking with a struggling friend. We need to regain our confidence in God's living Word as sufficient to address the real-life issues we face today.Scripture and Counseling will help you understand how the Bible equips us to grow in counseling competence as we use it to tackle the complex issues of life. Divided into two sections,Part One develops a robust biblical view of Scripture’s sufficiency for "life and godliness" leading to increased confidence in God's Word.Part Two teaches how to use Scripture in the counseling process. This section demonstrates how a firm grasp of the sufficiency of Scripture leads to increased competence in the ancient art of personally ministering God's Word to others.Part of the Biblical Counseling Coalition series, Scripture and Counseling brings you the wisdom of twenty ministry leaders who write so you can have confidence that God’s Word is sufficient, necessary, and relevant to equip God’s people to address the complex issues of life in a broken world.It blends theological wisdom with practical expertise and is accessible to pastors, church leaders, counseling practitioners, and students, equipping them to minister the truth and power of God’s word in the context of biblical counseling, soul care, spiritual direction, pastoral care, and small group facilitation.

I highly recommend it to anyone even remotely interested in Biblical Counseling, and even to those who aren't. I probably would have enjoyed it even more had I not been rushing through it for a class......more

Goodreads review by Caroline on November 17, 2022

I really did love reading this book! It has been so helpful to reference as it discusses a wide variety of counseling issues in the scope of Scripture. I'll use this as a reference for a long long time! Very practical, but not a how-to book. It provides you with a Biblical framework to work with as......more

Goodreads review by John on January 02, 2024

An excellent collection of essays concerning how we view the Scriptures and how we use the Scriptures. Part 1 seeks to give a "robust biblical view of Scripture for life and godliness" (17). The authors make the case that the Bible is trustworthy, yes, but that it is also sufficient for all matters r......more

Goodreads review by Steven on April 24, 2025

Scripture and Counseling is a comprehensive introductory work on the concept and practice of biblical counseling. The contributors focus less on defining and describing biblical counseling and more on the role of the Bible in personal ministry, highlighting its relevance to all issues faced by human......more
