A course on discovering what the Bible says about emotions & how to minister to your emotions.
Theology of Emotions surveys the Old and New Testament's description of the source, function, and management of emotions.

Course Description:
Emotions exist within the Trinity; therefore, as Image-Bearers, emotions exist within us. Massive confusion concerning their significance and place exists within Evangelical Christianity and in world cultures. Emotions are a critical element for the Christian counselor, pastor, and discipler to understand. Emotions are also a major area of struggle in the spiritual life as presented in the Bible. Using emotions as a starting point, we will Biblically examine their place in the doctrine of salvation, ecclesiology, and especially their role in spirituality.
