ABSTRACT

This study suggests the improvement areas for the biblical counseling to become more biblical. I believe that what we need to keep examining is not the sufficiency of the Bible but the periodical limitations of the counselors. The language of the counselors has its periodical background and motivations, spoken in the paradigm of changing era. The biblical counseling has focused on the client’s mind, trying to find the root of the sin and make the person repent and change. In actual counseling, the Work of the Spirit has depended more on the Bible or the tool of counselors than making close connections with the client’s life. And the community has actually been used weakly while emphasizing it. On the contrary, the therapeutic approaches in postmodern era focus mainly on the journey of client’s life and suggest the processes where multi-directional effects of the Participants are used. This is more of collection than interpretation, focusing on what to listen to. This study examines the listening language of the biblical counseling and the therapeutic approaches of postmodern era. The biblical counseling becomes more biblical in that we listen to the client’s life as the history of the Work of the Spirit, making it more abundant in the community.
