A God Who Hates, Weeps, and Loves: A Theology of Emotions—David T. Lamb

The God of the Bible is emotional. Many Christians don't want to associate emotions with God.

Does God feel, and what is the place of feelings in the Christian life? Join Shane and Biblical scholar David T. Lamb as they explore a theology of emotions.
