Am I responsible for my emotions or lack of them? Does Scripture command me to have specific emotions? In this lecture series, Lau will briefly probe the role of emotions in our spiritual formation. First, he will discuss the role that one specific emotion (shame) plays in Pauline ethics. Second, he will provide a foundational overview of the role of emotions in our spiritual formation.
