Divine Impassibility and the Mystery of Human

Does God suffer? If not, or if so, how does the mystery of God relate to the mystery of human suffering? Renowned contemporary Christian theologians Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox here discuss and debate the controversial question of Gods impassibility.

James F. Keating is associate professor of theology at Providence College in Providence, Rhode Island. Thomas Joseph White, O.P., is an instructor in theology on the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C.
