The Impassioned Life

By Samuel M Powell

The Impassioned Life argues that theology's task today is to rethink the nature of the emotions and their relation to human reason. The Christian tradition contains the pastorally valid intuition that moderation and self-control are necessary virtues for the Christian life. At the same time, Christian theology attends to contemporary psychological research in order to achieve a more integrated understanding of the emotions and reason. At heart, this volume offers a holistic vision of the Christian life lived passionately in its full range of feeling as life in the Spirit.
