I was unaware of Ed Welch's latest. I'll certainly be getting it. I especially enjoyed his treatment of addiction issues in his "Addictions: A Banquet in the Grave". It is the best Christian treatment of addictions issues I've seen out there. It's theologically sound while being pastorally sensitive and medically responsible. A rare combination. Right now I'm finishing up reading what I believe will be the foundational text for future Christian counseling, Eric Johnson's "Foundations for Soul Care: A Christian Psychology Proposal". It's put out by IVP Academic. So far it is exceptional, both in its assessment of what we've seen so far in Christian counseling, as well as of the underlying theological issues, and their practical expression. Johnson points out that Welch represents "progressive Biblical counseling" contra the old school "tradional Biblical counseling" (think Jay Adams) which saw no value in any of the secular psychologies. He still critiques their humanistic presuppositions, yet allows that some truth still has come through, but always through the lens of what God has spoken through His inspired word. Once again, thanks for the heads up! Thank you Michael for this review. I was unaware of Ed Welch’s latest. I’ll certainly be getting it.
