The Suffering of God Paperback - 1984

by Terence E. Fretheim (Translator)


From the publisher

In this comprehensive and thought-provoking study, Terence Fretheim focuses on the theme of divine suffering, an aspect of our understanding of God which both the church and scholarship have neglected. Maintaining that "metaphors matter," Fretheim carefully examines the ruling and anthropomorphic metaphors of the Old Testament and discusses them in the context of current biblical-theological scholarship. His aim is to broaden our understanding of the God of the Old Testament by showing that "suffering belongs to the person and purpose of God".

Description:
Augsburg Fortress Publishers, October 1984. Paper Back. New. Old Testament images of a vindictive, wrathful God not only diminish its relevance to Christian life and faith, but also obscure its revelation of the God who suffers--because of, with, and for his creation. Fretheim begins by exploring God's relationship to the world: passages such as 'I am with you, says the Lord of Hosts' illustrate not God-at-a-distance, but a fundamental continuity between God and his people. In many Old Testament theophanies--when God appears, speaks, or sanctifies--divinity often assumes a 'vulnerable' human form instead of appearing in 'overwhelming power.' By choosing weakness, God risks rejection--which leads in turn to divine grief, a form of suffering readily apparent in Genesis, Exodus, and the laments of Psalms and the prophets. God also suffers with his people: he responds to Israel's judgment by 'taking up the cry of a mourner...[he] does not view Israel's fate with… Read More
