ABSTRACT
In recent years, the debate over God's emotional life has reopened. The traditional view is that God is impassible, which explicitly entails that God does not have empathy towards creatures. Divine passibilists often reject this claim because they believe that an impassible God cannot be the personal God revealed in the Holy Scripture. The 21st century has shown a renewed interest in this debate. Linda Zagzebski's recent work has focused on developing a divine attribute that she calls omnisubjectivity. According to Zagzebski, omnisubjectivity is the most personal of divine attributes because it involves God possessing the capacity for maximal empathy. As Zagzebski makes clear, omnisubjectivity is incompatible with impassibility. Thus, for theists who wish to affirm a personal conception of God, omnisubjectivity is worth a serious consideration.
