About this ebook
Modern theologians are focused on the doctrine of divine impassibility, exploring the significance of God's emotional experience and most especially the question of divine suffering. Professor Rob Lister speaks into the issue, outlining the history of the doctrine in the views of influential figures such as Augustine, Aquinas, and Luther, while carefully examining modernity's growing rejection of impassibility and the subsequent evangelical response. With an eye toward holistic synthesis, this book proposes a theological model based upon fresh insights into the historical, biblical, and theological dimensions of this important doctrine.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Penetrative analysis of the issues surrounding God and the issue of emotions. It however suffers from the absence of the category of "energies," thus there seems to be a contradiction of applying the two opposite characteristics to God.
