Constancy and change in God’s plan of salvationOur everyday experience is well acquainted with the reality of constancy and change. Persistence over time (continuity) is normally accompanied by an awareness of change (discontinuity). This article wants to highlight the underlying ontological issues and distinctions required to gain a better understanding of the familiar term identity. In order to achieve this goal the idea of identity is related to the nature of an entity and its properties. Plato’s account of identity and change paved the way for an enduring philosophical wrestling with this problem. In the Dooyeweerd tradition, acknowledging the more-than-functional and multi-functional nature of the identity of an entity helps us to understand the distinction between conceptual knowledge and concept-transcending knowledge.
