Description: An interdisciplinary approach to the study of the relationship between emotions and moral formation in the New Testament. Drawing on the contributions of cultural anthropology, sociology, psychology, and ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman views of moral psychology, this course analyses various New Testament texts to examine how our emotions should be transformed in light of the gospel. Emotions that will be considered include love, grief, shame, joy, fear, anger, hope, envy, and gratitude. 

Syllabus will be forthcoming.
