A Conversation with Matt LaPine on The Logic of the Body
In this episode, Nate Claiborne sits down with Matthew LaPine, author of The Logic of the Body to discuss some of the chapters of his book. An earlier chapter outlines a view of our emotions called emotional voluntarism, which while common, is not a helpful way of construing our emotional life. LaPine's book does some theological retrieval to bring wisdom from earlier theologians into the present in order to offer a more holistic account of our emotional life as embodied creatures. He then illustrates this with a closer look at Matthew 6 and the command to not be anxious.
Matthew LaPine is the Pastor of Theological Development at Cornerstone Church of Ames. He holds a PhD from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (Deerfield, IL) under Kevin Vanhoozer. He writes on theology, emotion, and mental health. You can connect with him at his website here.
