I recalled all the letters these poets wrote showcasing their shameful acts. I recalled Coleridge\u2019s poems that grappled with shame and guilt. These poets asked the same question my pastor did. This presented a problem to solve in the realm of theology, a psychology of emotion, and lyric poetry that articulated\u2014and made intelligible\u2014the same emotional states Paul discussed.<\/p><p>And so it all began. I had a problem to solve that would illuminate the British poets, the theology of guilt and shame, the problem of understanding elusive emotional states, and also my own personal struggle with shame. It earned me my Ph.D. and provided a curriculum base for how professors teach the British romantics.\u00a0<\/p><p>As I counsel others on how to choose a new research direction, I often suggest these questions: What troubles you about your own life and walk with God? Do you have a sustained interest in a topic that continues to surface through providential conversations, circumstances, and desires?
