Divine Providence and Human Agency develops an understanding of God
and God's relation to creation that perceives God as sovereign over
creation while, at the same time, allowing for a meaningful notion
of human freedom. This book provides a bridge between contemporary
approaches that emphasise human freedom, such as process theology
and those influenced by it, and traditional theologies that stress
divine omnipotence.This book argues that it is essential for
Christian theology to maintain that God is ultimately in charge of
history: otherwise there would be no solid grounds for Christian
hope. Yet, the modern human self-understanding as free agent within
certain limitations must be taken seriously. Jensen approaches this
apparent contradiction from within a consistently trinitarian
framework. Jensen argues that a Christian understanding of God must
be based on the experience of the saving presence of Christ in the
Church, leading to an apophatic and consistently trinitarian
theology. This serves as the framework for the discussion of divine
omnipotence and human freedom. On the basis of the theological
foundation established in this book, it is possible to frame the
problem in a way that makes it possible to live within this
tension. Building on this foundation, Jensen develops an
understanding of history as the unfolding of the divine purpose and
as an expression of God's very being, which is self-giving love and
desire for communion. This book offers an important contribution to
the debate of the doctrine of God in the context of an evolutionary
universe.
