The Biblical Counseling Movement After Adams - by Heath Lambert (Paperback)

About the Book

This ground-breaking exploration of the biblical counseling movement's development since Jay Adams shows how shifts in methodology and style are producing a new generation of increasingly well-balanced counselors.

Book Synopsis

Those inside and outside of the biblical counseling movement recognize growing differences between the foundational work of Jay Adams and that of current thought leaders such as David Powlison. But, as any student or teacher of the discipline can attest, those differences have been ill-defined and largely anecdotal until now.

Heath Lambert, the first scholar to analyze the movement's development from within, shows how refinements in framework, methodology, and engagement style are changing the face of the biblical counseling movement as we know it--producing a second generation of counselors who are increasingly competent to counsel. Find out how the biblical counseling movement has changed and improved and how the present-day leadership differs from the leadership of the past, in a respectful effort to evaluate and advance the efficacy of biblical counseling.
