** COURSE CANCELLED ** Bible Study Break: The Bible and the Emotions: Faith and Feeling in Early Christianity **COURSE CANCELLED**

We will explore new research on the emotional impact of early Christian belief and practice. Against the backdrop of the scriptures and the Greco-Roman world, we will look at such emotions as anger, grief, fear, envy, joy, and love. We will also consider the implications for faith and feeling in Christian life today.
