Footnote 10

The biblical concept of “the heart” includes the notions of: wisdom (Proverbs 2:10); emotion (Exodus 4:14; John 14:1); desire and will (1 Chronicles 29:18); spirituality (Acts 8:21), and intellect (Romans 1:21). In short, and in biblical terms, the heart is “the central defining element of the human person.” It is from this heart that all thoughts and actions proceed.  James Sire Naming the Elephant: Worldview as Concept  (p 144)
