What God is doing

However, we have argued that the Bible is God’s revelation of himself. We could argue that God does not change either, but God is also complex; new revelation might be intended to reveal new aspects of God, as opposed to reiterating the same aspects. The divine personality is in fact so diverse that later theologians had to break it apart into three distinct personae (Greek prosopon English “person”). If God reveals something new about himself, we would not expect it to simply duplicate the information that came before. Further, we have argued specifically that the Bible reveals God’s purposes, that is, what God is doing.—Walton and Walton, The Lost World of the Torah, 127

I would quibble w/their reasoning for the Trinity, but otherwise would pretty much agree.
