<p> | <p> A figure, expression, or discourse, whereby some passion is attributed to God which properly belongs only to man. [[Anthropopathy]] is frequently used promiscuously with anthropology; yet in strictness they ought to be distinguished, as the genus from the species. [[Anthropology]] may be understood of any thing human attributed to God, as eyes, hands, &c. but anthropopathy only of human affections and passions, as joy, grief. We have frequent instances of the use of these figures in holy scripture. </p> | ||
