No Shadow of Turning: Divine Immutability and the Economy of Redemption

Reformed, Exegetical & Doctrinal Studies The R.E.D.S. series addresses a spectrum of doctrines and contemporary theological questions. While the emphasis is on refining dogmatic formulation through rigorous exegesis and exploration into each doctrine's historical background, this is done alongside warm, earnest pastoral application - making these studies practically, as well as theologically, relevant. While divine immutability enjoyed a broad affirmation through much of theological antiquity, it has fallen on harder times in modernity. Seen as a holdover from overly philosophical theology, divine immutability has often been characterized as rendering God static and incapable of having meaningful relationships with his creation. This book aims to counter this claim in hopes of demonstrating that divine immutability does not handicap soteriology but is a necessary and vital component of God's economy of redemption.
