This research as a literature study was to clarify the futuristic aspect and analysis of the Biblical counseling. The purpose of this study is to discuss how biblical counseling has developed so far, what challenges it faces externally, what problems it faces internally, and what direction it should go in the future. Biblical counseling was developed by founder Jay E. Adams and operated under the so-called ‘nouthetic counseling,’ later changed its name to ‘biblical counseling’ and became known worldwide as a huge academic body that has amassed numerous sympathizers. Biblical counseling has made significant progress internally, but externally it has received harsh criticism from psychology, psychotherapy, psychiatry, and even Christian counseling. Biblical counseling has gone through the first and second-generations over the past 50 years. David Foulison, a representative of the second-generation of biblical counseling, passed away after raising the following issues about biblical counseling before his death. “Current Biblical counseling has become a situation where one has to discuss what challenges one faces externally, what problems one has internally, and what direction on should move forward.” To address these discussions, this study briefly dealt with the history of generational change in biblical counseling. And this researcher briefly looked at the contents of biblical counseling. In addition, this study, titled ‘The Structure of Biblical Counseling,’ dealt with the biblical hermeneutic basis, the sufficiency of the Bible, and the relationship with sin. Also, in this research, Pawlison's 12 biblical counseling propositions were dealt with as the contents and methods of biblical counseling. Finally, three issues were addressed regarding the direction of biblical counseling in the future. In other words, it concludes by dealing with biblical counseling beyond confrontation and criticism, biblical counseling for cultural expansion, and biblical counseling to accommodate various biblical counseling approaches.
