S1, E3: Why do feelings and psychology seem to dominate the world’s sense of self? In the second session, Dr. Trueman studies the powerful influence of early cultural influences including 18th-century philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau and artistic movements, explaining how they appealed to human’s emotional needs. Dr. Trueman then relates that to biblical passages like the Psalms and the story of David and Bathsheba to demonstrate how God truly designed emotions to shape our identities and morals.
