Recent work in the psychology of emotions has highlighted the helpfulness of meaning-making narratives to contextualize and make sense of experiences of suffering. In this article we argue that the experience of waiting should be regarded as an experience of suffering with the potential to produce a disruption in a person’s sense of the meaningfulness of their experience. We look to the resources of the Christian tradition for a narrative of waiting that can reorient a person feeling the disruption of a long season of waiting. We argue that Evagrius’ description of the deadly thought of acedia is best understood as a meaning-making counter-narrative, employed by a demonic tempter to disrupt a believer’s perseverance. We show how the responses suggested by Evagrius, namely to reassert an orienting narrative through the use of scriptures, can be expanded to lean on the larger Christian tradition, which grounds the meaningfulness of waiting in the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love through meditations on the Exodus narrative and the life of Christ.

In conversation with classical Christian anthropology, this article offers a holistic account of the human person in which reason, emotion, and desire are united in drawing humans to God, mutually informing life lived with a Godward orientation. First, I explore the ways several Christian theologians have construed the relation of reason and emotion in the pre-fall state. I give special attention to Augustine and Gregory of Nyssa. I then bring the themes of these accounts into conversation with contemporary accounts of emotion in philosophy and psychology. I conclude by arguing that the most persuasive accounts of Christian anthropology take the regulation of reason, emotion, and desire to be governed by relationship with God. A holistic walk with God requires the well-ordered collaboration of reason, emotion, and desire. In fact, the union of reason, emotion and desire expresses a creaturely reflection of God’s oneness and holiness.

Isaac D. Blois
This study draws on the modern psychological distinction between “bad pride” and “good pride” in order to elucidate the apostle Paul’s balanced presentation in Philippians 3 of a version of self-confidence that is negative (i.e., “placing confidence in the flesh”) in contrast with a version of approved boasting into which the believing community is invited (i.e., “boasting in Christ Jesus,” Phil 3:3). Hubristic, or bad, pride connects with a version of social engagement that is inevitably competitive and therefore self-seeking. Through Paul’s own model, as well as through that of Christ himself, such a version of pride is to be rejected by believers. On the other hand, the experience of being in Christ furnishes the opportunity to orient one’s emotion of pride outside of the self, becoming entangled in Christ and his community. Paul uses this good version of pride as a way to safeguard the Philippian community from the potential threat of opponents who would seek to draw them away from Christ and back onto a self-produced version of identity and value.

Emotions appear to be self-evident common sense; however, our understanding of ‘emotions’ carries a history of ongoing debate that persists to this day. This article provides a concise history of emotions, from biblical times to modern-day affective neuroscience. It describes how passions and affections of the soul became emotions of the body, excluding theology in the process. Modern affective neuroscience has yet to yield a universally accepted definition of emotions or a description of their physiology. These historical shifts have resulted in lost knowledge from the Judeo-Christian tradition concerning the soul, will, and love, leaving inadequate guidance for transforming the emotions in Christian spiritual formation. An interdisciplinary approach is suggested, and Dallas Willard’s model of transforming the emotions by cultivating the conditions of love, joy, and peace is presented. A case study on love is given. Christian spiritual formation offers unique and essential knowledge to the study of emotions.
