Much in twentieth‐century Protestant theology amounts to a massive attempt, by many different thinkers, to overcome theistic notions of God. How should this endeavor be pursued in relation with the attribute of divine immutability? In the last century, several significant theologians have preferred to speak of divine “faithfulness,” because of the fixity and rigidity which seems to be implied in the notion of immutability. Rather than simply pit “immutability” and “faithfulness” against each other, this article seeks to show that, whereas faithfulness is a much more adequate way of expressing God's constancy, immutability, too, deserves our consideration.

不变性还是忠诚？

在 20 世纪，新教神学在很大程度上相当于许多不同思想家的大规模尝试，以克服有神论的上帝观念。应如何针对神圣不变性的属性进行这种努力？在上个世纪，几位重要的神学家更喜欢谈论神圣的“信实”，因为不变性的概念似乎暗示了固定性和刚性。这篇文章不是简单地将“不变性”和“信实”相互对立，而是试图表明，虽然信实是表达上帝恒常的更合适的方式，但不变性也值得我们考虑。
