Great Survey of the Emotional Life of Christ

BB Warfield does a great job mining the differences between those that would try and die fly the emotional life of Christ as to not make him Human, and those that would try and humanize the emotional life of Christ as to make him irreverent. A great primer for those looking to dive into the emotions of Christ. ( )

In the search to understand the deity of Christ, Christians might overlook what the Bible reveals about his humanity. Did Jesus really feel emotions? What grieved him? What delighted him? How did Jesus―fully human and fully God―react to the world and people around him? Throughout Scripture, Jesus displays a range of emotions that can help believers understand him more intimately.
In The Emotional Life of Our Lord, theologian B. B. Warfield explains how Christ’s complex emotions and personality proved his humanity. It was necessary for Christ to be born in the likeness of mankind to bear their griefs, carry their sorrows, take their infirmities, and ultimately redeem their lives. In this encouraging book, readers learn to see Christ as a compassionate Savior through his sinless expressions of emotions―from righteous anger to abiding love.
