Abstract
The notion of God as immutable has received severe critiqueduring the last centuries. Critics claim that this doctrine is an importfrom Greek metaphysics which is alien to the portrait of the biblicalGod as passionate and relational. In this article, I describe how it remainspossible to talk about God as immutable, even after this critique,if we carefully define what is meant by the terminology. I suggest thatGod is ontologically immutable, but relationally mutable according tohis genuine relationship with his creatures. What is always realized inthe immanent trinity may take different shapes in the economy as therelationships develop. God has, therefore, different “modes of passion”suitable for every occasion. I conceptualize this understanding in theterm “immutably passionate”.
