Christian abuse counseling has drifted far from its biblical moorings and has become progressively integrated with the latest societal construct. "Abuse, a Biblical Perspective" picks up the lens of sola scriptura to view more clearly the answers to such practical questions as: What is spousal abuse? What are ways to protect the safety of a threatened spouse? Is it possible for an abusive spouse to change? What are ways the local church can minister to both spouses? Is abuse a biblical ground for divorce?.
