The exploration of divine impassibility is central to this work, as Professor Rob Lister argues for a balance between God's unchanging nature and His capacity for emotion. By tracing the historical perspectives of key theologians like Augustine, Aquinas, and Luther, Lister highlights modern challenges to the doctrine and the evangelical responses from figures such as John Stott and John Frame. The book aims to present a comprehensive theological model that integrates historical, biblical, and theological insights on this crucial topic.
