Description

This classic essay by the famous Princeton theologian explores a neglected aspect of Jesus’ human nature — his emotional life. Warfield begins by acknowledging, “It belongs to the truth of our Lord’s humanity, that he was subject to all sinless human emotions” — then proceeds to investigate what the gospels teach about his compassion, anger, joy, sorrow, and more. Every Christian should meditate upon the Savior’s balanced and righteous emotions, expressed for us and for our salvation.

“In Warfield is combined the twin ideals of Old Princeton––depth of learning matched only by fervency of devotion––and not until you read Warfield can you understand how he models these ideals in such an exceptional way. He is both informing and refreshing, what we might call ‘academic piety’ at its best. You find this everywhere in Warfield—it is characteristic of all his writings—but perhaps nowhere better than his marvelous essay On the Emotional Life of Our Lord. What a treat to have this back in print!!”
