Senior New Testament scholar F.

Scott Spencer focuses on a neglected area in the study of Jesus and the Gospels: the emotional life of Jesus.

This book offers a fresh reading of the Gospels through the lens of Jesus's emotions--anger, grief, disgust, surprise, compassion, and joy.

These emotions motivate Jesus's mission and reveal to Gospel readers what matters most to him.

Amid his passions, Jesus forges his character as God's incarnate Messiah, wholly embodied and emotionally engaged with others and thoroughly embedded in the surrounding environment.
