Jay Edward Adams fue un prolífico autor y teólogo cristiano reformado cuyas obras influyeron profundamente en el consejería bíblica. Escribió más de 100 libros, incluido el fundamental "Competent to Counsel", que impulsó el movimiento de consejería noutética—un método que enfatiza enfoques estrictamente bíblicos para el cuidado pastoral. Sus escritos han sido traducidos a dieciséis idiomas, lo que refleja su impacto global. Adams también fundó el Instituto de Estudios Noutéticos y desempeñó un papel crucial en la creación de organizaciones como la Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation (CCEF) y la Association of Certified Biblical Counselors.
Adams combinó rigor académico con perspicacia pastoral, obteniendo títulos en clásicas, divinidad, teología sagrada y oratoria. Se desempeñó como profesor de homilética en el Westminster Theological Seminary y dirigió estudios avanzados en el Westminster Seminary California. Más allá de sus contribuciones académicas, Adams fue pastor, plantador de iglesias y líder denominacional, fusionando el ministerio práctico con profundidad teológica. Su legado incluye haber recibido la Orden de la Palmetto de Carolina del Sur, el más alto honor civil del estado. Las obras de Adams siguen siendo textos fundamentales en la consejería cristiana y la teología reformada.
