520 1 $a"In neoplatonist Christian thought in the early church, theologians tend to describe God as apathetic, not subject to the passions and emotions that beset humans. In a theological system where salvation involves becoming "like" God in some way, what implication does the idea of an apathetic God have for our ability to understand, know, and experience God? Are the emotions merely evil impediments, or can they play a constructive role in our movement toward God "from glory to glory"?" "J. Warren Smith brings his analysis to bear on this question in Passion and Paradise, a study in theological anthropology that is essential reading for patristics scholars and, more generally, for those seeking to understand the question of suffering and emotion in Christian theology and soteriology. Smith shows that while Nyssen knew and appropriated the categories of Greek philosophy, his governing concerns were those of Christian faith and the desire to know and love God well."--BOOK JACKET.
