, Introduction
The purpose of this critique is to note the Christian doctrine of human beings, which

Summary
Guthrie notes that the premise or purpose of his article is to discuss some ways in which
the Christian doctrine of human beings (the doctrine of man) informs, or should inform pastoral
counseling. This article emphasizes particular issues through his participation with students,
teachers, and supervisors in a cooperative program of pastoral education in three seminaries in
his area together with various institutions where the “clinical” side of that area of education takes
place. This article additionally considers one of the foremost necessary roles of a pastor that is
giving care to the ministry, which they serve. It also views the benefits of pastoral counseling and
the matters that may arise as the pastor counsels’ individuals. Pastors that counsel tend to grasp

own beliefs while attempting to support those who are troubled by emotional and interpersonal
problems. The author carefully and thoughtfully defines pastoral counseling and differentiates
pastoral counseling from pastoral care. Based on Guthrie’s research, he formulated his thesis, an
