The Christian community characteristically confesses the constancy of God. But historians of religion know by contrast that the deity Yhwh evolved over time. How might scholars who belong to both these camps negotiate the disconnect? This essay seeks an answer by staging a moment of complementarity between Religionsgeschichte and OT theology. First it considers two cases in which the discourses of each discipline mirror one another by narrating the same event of deity change: Ps 82 and Yhwh’s greater mercy through exile. Second, it provides a sampler of two theological ontologies that countenance “holy mutability”: the open theism of Terence Fretheim and the evangelical historicism of Eberhard Jungel.

神圣的可变性：宗教历史与神学本体论

基督教社区的特点是承认上帝的恒常。但相比之下，宗教历史学家知道，Yhwh 神是随着时间的推移而进化的。属于这两个阵营的学者如何谈判这种脱节？这篇文章通过在宗教历史和旧约神学之间进行一次互补来寻求答案。首先，它考虑了两个案例，其中每个学科的话语都通过叙述神变的同一事件相互反映：诗篇 82 和耶和华在流放中的更大怜悯。其次，它提供了两个支持“神圣可变性”的神学本体的样本：特伦斯·弗雷特海姆的开放有神论和埃伯哈德·琼格尔的福音派历史主义。
