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 examining Hebrew thought and contemporary philosophical perspectives on love, justice, and emotion. He posits that the concept of a God devoid of emotional vulnerability contradicts the ethical principle of imitating God (imitatio Dei), ultimately asserting that a non-vulnerable God is not worthy of emulation.
