Timelessly Present, Compassionately Impassible: A Defense of Two C lassical Divine Attributes by Philip R. Olsson Claremont Graduate University: 2012 This study articulates a God-concept in the tradition of classical Christi an theism, contending with calls to modify significantly or revise classical constructions. Attention falls upon two closely related divine attributes that have, especially in recent decades, come under philosophical and theological attack – God’s timelessness and impassibility (inability to suffer). Is the “clas sic l” Lord truly Immanuel, i.e. with us? This general question motivates the study. The opening three chapters analyze aspects of the God-concepts put forth by Augustine, Aquinas, and Calvin. Apparent tensions between a timeless transcendence and an affirming union of the Trinity with creation are countenance d, with an eye to doing justice to both doctrines.

Chapter Two documents Aquinas’s affirmation of both God’s strong immutability and the non-necessity of creation, while questioning whether he affirms these in a logically consist e t way. Chapter Three then follows the contours of Calvin’s Trinitarianism and Christology , reflecting on the Triune Creator’s gracious “wedding” of himself to the wh ole work
