God, let’s talk about your feelings. Today I chat with Dr. Ryan Mullins about his new book “God and Emotion” with Cambridge University Press. Among many other things, we discuss: What is divine impassibility, and what are the arguments for and against it? And what are emotions? Does God empathize with us? Can God suffer along with us?

Some of my views have changed since then, but I'm leaving the video up because it contains lots of helpful information, and also shows my thinking at the time. Video Outline: 0.
