Divine Empathy : A Theology Of God
$27.00From the publisher: A major work from one of today’s leading theologians, Divine Empathy attempts to “think the unthinkable,” how God comes forth actively and redemptively to meet the human situation. Apologetic but not polemical, Farley’s work engages yet moves beyond both the classical tradition as well as contemporary anti-theisms in formulating a concept of God that is strikingly original, intellectually honest, and comprehensive. Farley’s treatise employs the “facticity of redemption,” the actual experience of freedom and empowerment, as the primordial source for our thinking about God (Part 1), God-symbols (Part 2), and God’s activity (Part 3), including the figure of Jesus. Farley’s astute analysis leads inexorably to a view of divine creativity and empathy that is one of the more profound religious visions of our time.
