Essays on a Worldview Approach to Biblical Counseling
These essays by Dr. Margy Hill outline her biblical counseling approach, emphasizing a holistic understanding of individuals. She introduces sociopraxy, encouraging Christians to actively engage with the world beyond their comfort zones through acts of service and community, rather than retreating into isolation. Hill further explains how her method moves “Beyond Behavior,” focusing on the deeper metaphysical and epistemological roots that shape a person's ethical choices, asserting that true transformation stems from understanding God's character rather than mere rule-following.
The collection highlights epistemology by establishing Scripture as the ultimate authority, while also acknowledging general revelation and utilizing secular insights as “tools” without adopting their “telos.” Ultimately, the essays advocate for a biblical worldview that is a “heart-centered commitment,” guiding beliefs, values, and actions to foster genuine, lasting change in individuals.
