  • Description

    Is the church vulnerable to governmental regulation in the area of counseling? How should biblical counselors steward their responsibilities before God and government? What precisely are the legal requirements that churches and counselors should know?

    In Legal Issues in Biblical Counseling, editors T. Dale Johnson Jr. and Edward Charles Wilde gather experienced Christian lawyers and biblical counselors to provide clear, practical direction for pastors, church leaders, and counseling ministries. The contributors encourage churches to pursue faithful ministry while taking reasonable steps to comply with applicable government regulations.

    The book addresses topics such as ministry documents, liability insurance, informed consent and communication, counseling people involved in legal proceedings, and how to respond if a legal claim arises. Readers will find guidance on working with attorneys, protecting counselors and counselees from litigation where possible, and communicating the religious and ministry nature of biblical counseling.
