This text examines the concept of divine historicity in the work of American philosopher Charles Hartshorne, specifically as presented in his reflections on natural theology. Hartshorne attempts to imbue the philosophical understanding of God with a historical dimension, thereby departing from classical notions of an immobile and immutable divinity. The analysis follows Hartshorne's argumentation, which derives the idea of God not only from abstract metaphysical principles but primarily from the phenomenon of human piety and the concept of worship. This approach allows for viewing God as a dynamic being who actively participates in the temporal process and the historical development of the world. The article explores how Hartshorne bridges rational philosophical inquiry with the existential experience of the believer. The result is an original synthesis that significantly contributes to discussions within process theology and redefines the relationship between eternity and time. Hartshorne's conception of divine historicity thus represents a key moment in the modern effort to humanize the philosophical absolute and anchor it in the lived reality of history.

Charles Hartshorne ve své knížečce o „přirozené theologii“ (7493, s. 126 nn.) chce připsat „Bohu“ (pochopitelně jde o „boha filosofů“) „historicitu“, a tak píše o „božské historicitě“ (divine historicity). Odhlédneme-li od druhého způsobu odvození myšlenky „boha“ od zbožnosti resp. ze zbožnosti (resp. z ideje bohoslužby, idea of worship, 129),
