Thesis (Ph.D.)--Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary, 2023.

This dissertation examines the counseling methods used within the book of Job. The research demonstrates that a theocentric reading of Job confirms that biblical counseling adhering to orthodox theology is essential and beneficial for every believer, especially those who are perceived to be living a disciplined life of righteousness. Chapter 1 introduces the reader to Job and the theme of counseling prevalent in the book. The researcher provides the motivation for the study, its relevance, and its purpose. Additionally, the author outlines the project's organization. Chapter 2 examines the prologue of Job (chapters 1-2). This section focuses on the first goal of the research: to demonstrate that every man can benefit from counseling, even those with the integrity of Job. The chapter examines the traditional understanding of Job as a man without flaws that derives from the fact that most only know about the Job in the first two chapters, but reading past the prologue reveals Job to be no different from any other man who struggles amid suffering.Chapter 3 surveys the dialogue cycles between Job and his three friends (Job 3-31). The second goal of the dissertation, to warn of the dangers of an anthropocentric approach to counseling, is addressed in this section. Job's counseling from his three friends was based on misguided theology because the counsel was centered on human tradition and reasoning.Chapter 4 covers Elihu's speech from Job 32-37 and deals with the third goal, which is to confirm that a solid grasp of biblical theology is essential before one can offer effective counsel. Elihu models theocentric counseling as he encourages Job to focus on God. Elihu is the only counselor willing to use orthodox biblical theology. This chapter also reviews the theology found within the book of Job, as Elihu is an example of an orthodox theologian.Chapter 5 studies the divine speeches (Job 38-41) and establishes a correspondence between the misinterpretation of Job (anthropocentric versus theocentric reading) and the conflicts between secular counseling and biblical counseling. This chapter argues that the reader of Job must reorient to a theocentric interpretation of the book.Chapter 6 focuses on the implications for biblical counseling and reassesses each of the previous chapters to establish correlations between counseling and the book of Job. This section presents what biblical counselors can learn from Job and shows a disparity in the number of writings about Job from secular counseling sources compared to biblical counseling's treatment of Job's counseling aspects. Finally, chapter 7 serves as the dissertation's conclusion.
