In theological and philosophical analysis of divine eternity today there are debates about whether the notion of a ‘timeless’ or ‘atemporal’ God coheres with a Christian understanding of creation and divine action in time. In this article I seek to illumine the coherence of God’s transcendence of time and his presence and action in time by analyzing the concept of motion and the role it might play in an account of divine action and divine eternity. This will involve considering the reflections of some major authors of the Christian tradition on divine eternity and divine action and then exploring how those reflections are rooted in scriptural teaching on God and his relationship to the world. After describing how a right understanding of divine action bears on our understanding of God’s eternity, I will then suggest some specific ways in which this approach can shed light on the nature of God’s action in creation and providence.

神圣的行动和永恒的意义

在今天对神圣永恒的神学和哲学分析中，存在关于“永恒的”或“时间的”上帝的概念是否与基督教对创造和神圣行动的理解一致的争论。在这篇文章中，我试图通过分析运动的概念及其在对神圣行动和永恒永恒的描述中可能发挥的作用来阐明上帝超越时间以及他在时间中的存在和行动的一致性。这将涉及考虑基督教传统的一些主要作者对神圣永恒和神圣行动的反思，然后探索这些反思如何植根于关于上帝及其与世界关系的圣经教导。在描述了对上帝行为的正确理解如何影响我们对上帝永恒的理解之后，
