| description | <strong>The Regret of God. On the theological relevance of God as subject of the Hebrew verb <em>nhm</em></strong><br /> Professor JA Heyns and others regard God's 'regret' of His own plans or actions in the Old Testament, expressed by the Hebrew verb <em>nhm</em>, as part of the dogmatic problem of �anthropomorphism� against general presupposition like His immutability. However, an exegetical investigation indicates that this virtual <em>aporia </em>as well as the supposed polysemy of <em>nhm</em>, i.e. �regret� and �comfort�, is mainly caused by our own unspoken �ontological� and therefore �absolute� and �objective� view on God. In a non-ontological perspective, focusing on concrete relations, the �regret� of God must on the contrary be seen as expression for the stability and continuity of the <em>deus absconditus</em> towards humankind. |
