Divine Impassibility with Paul Gavrilyuk

Jordan talks with Paul Gavrilyuk about divine impassibility. They cover topics like: What is the doctrine of divine impassibility? Is the doctrine biblical in any sense? Is it a false dilemma to choose between an unrestrictedly impassible and unrestrictedly passible God? Are there various different ways it has been understood in history? Is impassibility consistent with any passions being ascribed to God such as love or delight? Is impassibility consistent with God having emotions? If God is to have compassion can he be impassible? Does compassion require suffering?
