Description

Conciliating the dogma of divine immutability and impassibility with kénosis of the Son of God in the incarnation and, above all, in his passion never was an easy task for theological thought. It is true that throughout the history of theological reflection there was a harmoniza-tion of these divine attributes with the realism of human experiences of the Word of God in-carnate, especially in the patristic period, but the same cannot be said of some approaches of the contemporary theology, that even postulated, arising from the experience of Calvary, the existence of pain and death within the divine essence. This dissertation approaches the contribution of Von Balthasar for the analysis of this subject, present in his dialogue with some currents of contemporary theology (especially Jür-gen Moltmann and Kazoh Kitamori). Considering this aim, we will look for a new light for this matter that allows us to continue declaring immutability and impassibility as attributes of God true and eternal, without disregarding the essentially dramatic character of divine revela-tion and the inherent dynamisms to the incarnation of the Word.
