Description

Emotion is a topic of great interest to both academic disciplines involved in the integration enterprise. Biblical studies and theology address the topic because of its vital role in understanding the nature of God and the nature of human functioning. Psychology addresses the topic of emotion because of the central role emotion plays in psychological development, wellbeing, psychopathology, and clinical interventions. To form an integrative approach to emotion, scholars from both sides of the equation need to bring the best, most up-to-date data to the conversation. A new book, Faithful Feeling, represents a major contribution to the discussion of emotion from the discipline of biblical studies. This article analyzes its potential contribution to scholars in psychology working on the subject of emotion from the standpoint of relevance, scope, and depth. The challenges of integration are many and varied. Scholars and practitioners in psychology who strive to conduct their work within the context of Christian theology have a natural interest in exploring how the psychology of human emotion interfaces with the theology of human emotion. In fact scholars working in any of the social sciences will express this very same interest. However, psychological integrators face substantial challenges when they take material from their own discipline and seek to relate it to the teachings of Christian Scripture. Few people can afford the luxury of possessing doctor rates in both psychology and theology. Psychologists who work in the integration field must use their theological knowledge as obtained in the pew or in a few graduate courses. Or they must seek out theological and biblical resources that they trust are accurate, balanced, and up-to-date to use in their integration work. Psychological integrators have a great need for reliable materials written by theologians and biblical scholars that can provide material needed for the integration task (Beck, 2006b).
