This book explores the role of emotions and affections in the
Christian tradition from historical and theological perspectives,
especially related to the work of the Holy Spirit. Although
historians and scholars from a range of traditions—including
Wesleyan, Pentecostal, and Pietist—have engaged these issues,
there has yet to be a sustained examination of the role of emotions
and affectivity across the Christian tradition. By retrieving the
complex discussion about affectivity in Christian tradition and
bringing its many voices into dialogue within a contemporary
ecumenical context, the contributors also point toward a number of
new research trajectories. The essays underscore the need to
understand the shift in Western views of emotion that began in the
late eighteenth century. They also explore in detail the vocabulary
of affectivity as it has developed in the Christian tradition. As
part of this development, the contributors reveal the importance of
pneumatology in Western as well as Eastern Christianity, calling
into question the idea of a pneumatological deficit advanced by
some constructive theologians and addressing the relationship
between affectivity and the pedagogical strategies that enable
persons to cooperate with the work of grace in the soul. Finally,
several essays explore the relationship between the erotic, the
ecstatic, and affectivity in religious belief. This volume will
interest scholars and students of historical theology, of emotions
in theology, and of Christian renewal or charismatic movements.
