Faithful Feelings: Rethinking Emotions in the New Testament is Matt’s first book and is directly based on his PhD in New Testament. If you are a pastor, counselor, or a student of the Bible, Faithful Feelings will help you dig deeper into the truths about emotion found in the Bible. It will also bring you up to date on the latest ideas about what emotion is and the role it should play in our ethics, theology, and philosophy.
Jesus and Paul displayed a wide range of emotions in their lives and teaching. Thomas Aquinas, John Wesley, Jonathan Edwards, and many others have recognized the vital importance of emotion in Christian experience. However, in recent times, many preachers and theologians have relegated it to the margins. Our thinking on the relationship between reason and emotion is often confused or obscure.
Faithful Feelings takes a fresh look at the causes, nature, and role of felt experience in Christian living. While the book discusses the vocabulary of emotion - love, joy, hope, jealousy, fear, sorrow, anger - its primary concern is with emotion itself, how it was perceived by the New Testament writers in their cultural context, and the role it should plan in the lives of Christian believers. Pastors and leaders are talking about the impact this book is having on the way they do ministry!
