DVCO 625 - Theological Foundations for Counseling (3)

This course considers the relationship between doctrine and daily life-from baptisms to funerals and the often-painful experience that is lived between-with reference to the source and summaries of Reformation theology: the scriptural canon (source) as well as the ancient creeds and Reformation confessions (summaries). Moving from scriptural texts and dogmatic themes to homiletical and pastoral case-studies, we will explore the connection between biblical and theological “truth” and ministering what Thomas Cranmer called “the comfortable words.” These words are embodied in the process of counseling. Prereq: DVHD 502.
