The Immutable God Who Can Change His Mind: The Impassible God Who Can Show Emotion

Scripture says plainly that God changed his mind (Exodus 32:14), and just as plainly that he shows emotion, both anger and pity (Exodus 32:9). Are these true descriptions of who God is, or only figures of speech? The Church Fathers were divided. Aquinas held them to be metaphorical, though only to a certain extent. Modern theologians are divided as well, and the Church has rendered no formal judgment. So where does the truth lie?

In this book Robert Sungenis takes the reader through Scripture, tradition, the magisterium, and philosophy to probe this mysterious and fascinating question. The conclusion he reaches may surprise you, and may draw you into a closer relationship with God than you have known before.
