About This Tag
Many biblical narratives treat God as a character within the story rather than a force directing it from outside. God reacts to events, is persuaded by people, regrets past decisions, changes course, learns new information, and is moved by what humans do or say. Mesopotamian literature shows the same pattern, with gods who regret the flood, are talked down by other gods, and respond to mortal action.
