This vintage copy of “Trust and Obey” by Jay E. Adams offers a fascinating glimpse into the development of the biblical counseling movement within evangelical Christianity. Published in 1978, it represents one of Adams’ seminal works that helped establish the principles of nouthetic counseling, an approach rooted in the belief that the Bible provides comprehensive guidance for addressing psychological and emotional issues. As a pivotal figure in this movement, Adams challenged the secular psychotherapeutic models prevalent at the time, advocating for a return to scriptural principles in counseling practices.
While the book’s cover shows signs of its age, the well-preserved interior invites readers to explore Adams’ influential ideas, which sparked considerable debate and controversy within Christian circles. Collectors and readers interested in the history of Christian counseling, as well as the intersection of theology and psychology, will find this copy a valuable addition to their libraries. It serves as a window into a significant shift in evangelical thought, offering insights into the intellectual and spiritual currents that shaped modern approaches to Christian counseling.
