(The doctrine of the immobility of God) stands in glaring contradiction to the most fundamental mystery of the Christian faith … ‘to the Christian doctrine of the Divine Trinity, to the Christian mystery of Golgotha.’ We must not tolerate it – even as ‘natural theology’s’ doctrine of God.
We cannot simultaneously claim that God is immovable and moved, impassible and suffering, beyond history and historical…Anyone who denies movement in the divine nature also denies the divine Trinity. And to deny this is really to deny the whole Christian faith. For the secret of Christianity is the perception of God’s triune nature, the perception of the movement in the divine nature which that implies, and the perception of the history of God’s passion which springs from this. Christian faith is the experience of the boundless freedom of which this is the source.
This movement in God is made possible and determined by the fact that ‘in the depth of that life emerges the divine mystery, the inner suffering thirst of the godhead, its inner longing for its “other”, which for God is capable of being the object of the highest, most boundless love.’… And that is man, his ‘image.’
