On the general subject of the emotions, The Human Mind, by James Sully (Longmans), but especially The Emotions and the Will, by Alexander Bain (Longmans), are useful. The Foundations of Character, by Alexander F. Shand (Macmillan & Co.; 1914) was issued too late to be of service for the present volume, but from the portions of it I have read, I judge that the preacher will find in it much that is to his advantage. Of literature explicitly on the emotions of Jesus I know none except Professor Warfield’s scholarly essay in the Princeton Biblical and Theological Studies (Scribner’s Sons; 1912) and the helpful articles in Hastings’ Dictionary of the Bible and Dictionary of Christ and the Gospels. Among books dealing with the life of Christ as a whole, Stalker’s Imago Christi (Hodder & Stoughton), Bousset’s Jesus (Williams & Norgate), and Stopford A. Brooke’s The Early Life of Jesus (David Stott, London; 1888) may be mentioned; among books on the Gospels, commentaries and expositions, Chadwick’s St. Mark .(“Expositor’s Bible Series”), W. M. Macgregor’s Jesus Christ the Son of God (Scribners). As a matter of fact, however, the literature dealing with the emotions of Jesus consists chiefly of individual expositions and sermons. The subjoined references to some of these are given according to the order of topics followed in this volume.
