Good reflections, Derek. I’ve been thinking about this lately from the perspective of counseling/psychology. As a Covenant Sem grad, there was a lot of remedial education for a stronger, more robustly reformed doctrine of creation, as well as new creation / consummation. This provides a better framework, imho, for contextualization in counseling, as opposed to the nouthetic tradition which could be categorized as confrontational. Do you think the confrontational approach operates from more of a fall / redemption paradigm rather than a more full-orbed creation/fall/redemption/new creation paradigm? If we prioritize sin and grace without the grounding of creation it’s natural that confrontation would be the preferred mode.
