On Sinful Desire: Understanding and Applying the Biblical Doctrine of Concupiscence
This theological ethics day is taught by Matthew Mason. The doctrine of concupiscence (the evil desires of our sinful nature) has proved controversial among evangelicals in recent years, especially in debates about same-sex attraction. But it is theologically and pastorally vital, and applies far more widely than simply to questions of sexual attraction. The day will consider the history of the doctrine, before explaining the Protestant position and examining connections to vital doctrines like justification, repentance, sanctification, the relationship of sin and temptation, and the sinlessness of the Lord Jesus when he was tempted. There will be exegesis of key biblical passages, consideration of objections to the doctrine, and chance to explore the pastoral applications and significance of what we believe and teach.
