Embracing Vulnerability

More about the book

The book explores the moral implications of divine impassibility, arguing that emotional vulnerability and suffering are essential to moral perfection. Roberto Sirvent critiques traditional views by analyzing Hebrew thought and contemporary philosophy regarding love, justice, and emotion. He posits that a God lacking emotional vulnerability contradicts the Imitation of God ethic, ultimately asserting that such a deity is unworthy of emulation. Through this examination, Sirvent invites readers to reconsider the relationship between divine characteristics and moral ideals.
