"With every literary genre or form come some conventional expectations that the biblical authors either follow or deviate from."

Previous Quote

[Biblical counseling] Must insist that the image of God is central to developing a solid view of personality; that our sinfulness, not how we've been sinned against, is our biggest problem; that forgiveness, not wholeness, is our greatest need; that repentance, not insight, is the dynamic in all real change.

— Dan B. Allender
