No Shadow of Turning

This book explores the essential role of divine immutability in salvation, offering a fresh perspective on God's unchanging nature and its implications for redemption in No Shadow of Turning.

The question of how God's unchanging nature influences the salvation of His people is a central theme in No Shadow of Turning. Throughout much of Christian history, divine immutability was widely accepted as a foundational truth. However, in modern theological discussions, this concept has faced scrutiny, often dismissed as a relic of overly philosophical approaches. Critics argue that this view portrays God as static and incapable of engaging in genuine relationships with His creation, leading to a reevaluation of His nature in contemporary thought.

In No Shadow of Turning, the author seeks to counter this perspective by illustrating that divine immutability is not an obstacle to understanding salvation but rather an essential aspect of God's redemptive plan. The book posits that the changelessness of God serves to safeguard and enhance the redemption of His creatures. By rooting the economy of redemption in divine immutability, the author emphasizes the importance of connecting God's economic actions with His eternal, unchanging essence, thus providing a more profound understanding of His relationship with humanity.

This work aims to contribute to dogmatic theology through a thorough examination of exegetical, historical, and philosophical perspectives. By engaging with various interpretations and objections to divine immutability, No Shadow of Turning ultimately argues that a classical understanding of God's changelessness offers the most coherent framework for comprehending the economy of redemption and its implications for believers today.
