SUMMARY
A study of the most common problematic emotions: depression, anxiety, grief, anger, and trauma. The focus is on developing an understanding of these emotions as biological, moral, relational, and spiritual phenomena and then learning biblical intervention strategies. A biblical perspective on suffering and pain is embedded throughout.
OBJECTIVES
