A Rock in the Whirlwind: A Changeless God in A Changing World, A Response to “Hermeneutics and Biblical Ethics: God’s Immutability and Human Integrity” by Richard Chewning

Abstract

“May you live in interesting times” says the ancient Chinese curse. We do indeed live in interesting times. Technology, particularly the Internet, is driving a paradigm change in our society that is so profound that a new economy has sprung up seemingly overnight. Futurists tell us there is likely to be more social change in the next ten years than there has been in the last century (Bell & Gray, 1997). In the context of this whirlwind of transformation, it is a jerk into reality to be reminded that God is immutable, that He does not change.
