Description
The immense suffering caused by sin and evil in the modern world has led to a significant shift in how God is understood in relation to human suffering. A growing consensus among theologians suggests that God himself suffers in solidarity with those who suffer, contradicting traditional Christian views of God's impassibility. Thomas Weinandy challenges this contemporary perspective, drawing on scripture and the philosophical and theological tradition of the Fathers and Aquinas. He argues that the Son of God, as man, experiences all aspects of living an authentic human life, including suffering. This book presents a comprehensive and original account of the Christian Gospel, offering a fresh challenge to prevailing philosophical and theological wisdom. Weinandy's work is a scholarly and thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between God and human suffering, making it a valuable resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding of this fundamental Christian doctrine.
