Caring for Souls: Counseling Under the Authority of Scripture

by Harry Shields, Gary Bredfeldt

Caring for Souls is a helpful primer on the intersection of psychology and Scripture. How psychology fits into Christianity is a thorny and often confusing subject for many. There is a great deal of disagreement even among experts. In Caring for Souls, Gary Bredfeldt and Harry Shields address the intersection of Scripture and psychology in Christian counseling. The authors address different approaches and analyze them against Scripture, and then provide readers with practical teaching on implementing biblical counseling.

I have not read all of this book yet. The purchase of it which I made was for the purpose of reading little bits at a time and then for reference later. I have been greatly encouraged by what I have read, however. The first few chapter in particular are extremely helpful, as they provide an excellent biblical and theological framework for Christian Counseling.
