God without Passions

This book is a deep consideration of the doctrine of Divine Impassibility.

Its primary purpose is to familiarize the reader with sixteenth and seventeenth-century English language sources pertinent to the doctrine of divine impassibility, particularly for those connected with the statement in the Reformed confessions that God is “without body, parts, or passions.” If this material is studied carefully, the reader will encounter an excellent and diverse array of writings that touch on this subject. This is a book for those who want to carefully consider and examine the doctrine of God and how Christians, particularly the Protestant Reformed, have confessed that God is without passions and affections.

“Samuel Renihan has collected the words of sixty theologians from the Reformation and post-Reformation era in order to help readers understand the classical doctrine of divine impassibility which is sorely misunderstood in our day…” – Carl Trueman
