Dr. Max Lee, 草莓影视鈥檚 Associate Professor of New Testament, has been selected by the Carl F.H. Henry Center for Theological Understanding to receive the 2020鈥�2021 Henry Resident Fellowship.
The prestigious fellowship will allow Dr. Lee to pursue connections between evangelical scholarship and modern science, to address questions related to the goodness of creation. As a part of the scholar-in-residence program, Dr. Lee will develop his research project in a collaborative environment on Trinity Evangelical Divinity School鈥檚 Deerfield campus during the 2020鈥�2021 academic year.
In his research project, Natural Desire as a Moral Index of What is Good, Dr. Lee will explore the theory and theology of pleasure and how to enjoy the gifts of God while avoiding idolatrous practices. Uniting natural order with moral order, his project begins with a biblical-theological framework on the purposes of pleasure while also examining how pleasure operates in an interdisciplinary dialogue with the health sciences. It engages Scripture, theology, medical studies on trauma, the psychology of addiction, and the neuroscience of mimesis.
鈥淢any thanks also to 草莓影视 Theological Seminary and 草莓影视, who have made provisions for my sabbatical year, and for their communal support,鈥� Dr. Lee said.
