Episode 26: Does God Change?


Listen Later

There is a paradox at the heart of faith, across traditions, God is described as eternal, immutable, unchanging and yet, across history, God appears to change constantly. God has been imagined as warrior and shepherd, as king and parent, as judge and lover, as distant lawgiver and intimate presence, as cosmic order and living mystery.

If God does not change, why do our images of God evolve so dramatically? Is God being revealed more fully over time or are we projecting our changing consciousness onto the divine?

Is God stable while our understanding matures or does the divine itself participate in becoming?
