Lying Prophets or Loving Fathers?

Throughout church history, the traditional position regarding so-called “divine emotions” in Scripture is that although the biblical prophets said God has various emotions, this nowise agrees with the facts.

In grappling with the seeming scandal of this, many today have underplayed its reality or else left unanswered the natural question: if this is actually true, then why on earth would the prophets say these things at all? Indeed, how in fact could they? These questions involve a very grave difficulty, and people concerned with taking Scripture seriously are right to press it.

In this lecture, Ryan Hurd will attempt to respond to this issue by facing it honestly and giving the traditional answers(s) to it in full.

The lecture will be followed by a time of Q&A.
