About this listen

Weaves together biblical exposition and practical application to demonstrate how emotions relate to the Christian life.

Emotions are a vital part of what it means to be a human being made in the image of God and redeemed in Jesus Christ. But often our emotions confuse and mislead us. So what is the proper place for emotions in a Christian's walk of faith?

In Feelings and Faith, Brian Borgman draws from his extensive biblical knowledge and his pastoral experience to help listeners understand both divine and human emotions. After laying a biblical foundation, he moves on to practical application, focusing on how Christians can put to death ungodly emotional displays and cultivate godly emotions.

This biblically informed, practical volume is helpful for pastors, counselors, and serious-minded Christians who wish to develop a full-orbed faith that encompasses their emotional life.

Wholistic Theological survey of healthy emotions

Firstly, it is funny that Borgman wrote a book about emotions (Star Trek junkies will get it).

It is an excellent primer for anyone interested in having a Biblical perspective of emotions, good and bad. The book is divided into three sections.

He begins by surveying the emotions of God revealed in the Bible. Follows with how man, being created in God's image, is also an emotional being. How man's sinful condition has damaged our capacity for balanced emotions.

The second section discusses unhealthy (that's is, sinful) emotions, the cause, concern, and cure. Anger, fear, and depression are some examples.

The last section discusses how to "vivify" (cultivate) godly emotions. Namely, study the Bible, pray, worship, fellowship, and read biographies of Christian heroes.

Great book. I have already recommended it to several people personally.

(Note: the author discloses that he is Reformed (a Calvinist) and his Calvinistic hermeneutic does come across some. However, the book is not riddled with Reformed dogmas (as many Calvinistic writers tend to do). So even if the reader is not a Calvinist, he can take much out the book. Don't throw the ba y out with the bath water.)
