An expert in moral and philosophical psychology, Robert C Roberts here develops an up-to-date understanding of human emotions as a basic part of Christian moral character. With an eye to how emotions function in the New Testament, Roberts explores emotions as non-sensory perceptions that arise from personal caring and concern. His study culminates with an examination of six fruit of the Holy Spirit emotion-virtues: contrition, joy, gratitude, hope, peace, and compassion. Though Spiritual Emotions is rigorous in its focus on the inner structure of Christian character, it is nonetheless readable and is laced with many narrative examples. The book will be immensely useful for Christian ethicists, psychologists, preachers, and counselors.Recensie(s)Gordon T. Smith -- President, reSource Leadership International -Roberts has provided us with something urgently needed: critical thinking about the complex matter of the emotions. He brings together insights from philosophy, psychology, and literature that complement the needed theological analysis of the place of emotion in human -- and thus Christian -- experience. This work provides invaluable insight and guidance for church leaders, including preachers and those who direct worship, parents, educators, and all who are concerned with human formation.-
