In this editorial, David Powlison discusses various ways people view Scripture: some people see the Bible as relatively thin; others see the Bible as crammed with relevant detail for living. Powlison contrasts the differences between a vision defect and a skill defect in biblical counseling. He concludes with an introduction to articles in the issue.

David Powlison served as CCEF’s executive director (2014-2019), a faculty member, and senior editor of the Journal of Biblical Counseling. He held a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania and an MDiv from Westminster Theological Seminary. David wrote extensively on biblical counseling and on the relationship between faith and psychology. His books Seeing with New Eyes and Speaking Truth in Love probe the implications of Scripture for how to understand people and how to counsel. The Biblical Counseling Movement: History and Context explores the background and development of CCEF’s mission. David is survived by his wife Nan, their three children and spouses, and seven grandchildren.
