Description: The Creative Suffering of God by Paul S. Fiddes Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A survey of recent thought about the suffering of God, which explores the "theory of the cross" in modern German theology, American process theology, the "death of God" theology and the rejection of the idea of divine passibility by modern followers of classical theism. Publisher Description The theme that God suffers with his world has become a familiar one in recent years, but a careful examination is needed of what it means to talk about the suffering of God, avoiding the danger of a merely sentimental belief. This book offers a consistent way of thinking about a God who suffers supremely and yet is still the kind of God to whom the Christian tradition has witnessed, and also about a God who suffers universally and yet is still present uniquely inthe cross of Christ. It is at once both a survey of recent thought about the suffering of God and a proposal for a way forward in this important area of Christian theology. The author surveysfour main trends of recent thought: the theology of the cross in modern German theology (as represented particularly in the work of Karl Barth, JÜrgen Moltmann, and Eberhard JÜngel); American process theology; the death of God theology; and finally, the rejection of the whole idea of divine passibility by modern followers of classical theism. He draws upon these schools of thought in the course of reflecting upon various aspects of the main theme of the study.This thematic structure enables an idea of divine suffering to be developed throughout the book, affirming that God freely chooses to limit himself, to suffer change, to journey through time and even toexperience death while remaining the living God.
