Episode notes

The God of the Bible is depicted as hurting, grieving, and being burdened by his people. For many Christians, this motif is deeply moving. For others, this depiction of God is rejected altogether. Why is this conception of God so powerful to some, but so repulsive to others? What do we lose when we abandon the God who suffers? Join theologian James Agnew as he reflects upon the God who Grieves.
