LECTURE 1: BELIEFS AND EMOTIONS
Although Christian theologians never developed a distinctive theory of the emotions, they drank deeply from cognitive theories of emotion prevalent in ancient philosophy, some of which are currently being retrieved. Guiding the emotions well is key to structuring and maintaining civil society, a chief interest of theology.

LECTURE 2: AUGUSTINE ON LOVE
Augustine heralded love as the quintessential Christian emotion-virtue. His ten homilies on 1 John seek to guide the emotions for the unity of the church and the well-being of society.

LECTURE 3: LUTHER ON ANXIETY
In his early treatise, “Two Types of Righteousness” and later in his preface to his 1534 commentary on Galatians, Luther presents the gospel as treatment for potentially paralyzing anxiety.
