Description: How is God sovereign with respect to creation? Does
creation affect God? Does God suffer or change because of creation?
If so, how is this related to Christology? Why have these questions
been so controversial in evangelical theology, even costing some
people their jobs? This book is a collection of lectures given to
the Forum for Evangelical Theology at Garrett-Evangelical
Theological Seminary. Six theologians answer the questions above
from a variety of perspectives. They draw on resources including
the church fathers, Thomas Aquinas, John Calvin, Jurgen Moltmann,
process theology, and open theism. In the process of answering the
question, does God suffer? each theologian also illustrates how
responding to this subject requires an examination of other crucial
evangelical issues, such as how we read Scripture and what it means
to proclaim that God is love. Although the writers answer these
questions in a variety of ways, the hope is that engaging in this
conversation together can help evangelicals and all Christians to
speak more faithfully of our sovereign God. Endorsements: ""Dante
may have located the debate between divine sovereignty and human
freedom in one of the circles of hell, but reading these sprightly
and well-argued essays was, by contrast, a real pleasure. In an age
where divine suffering is considered the 'new orthodoxy, ' it is
most refreshing to hear what six theologians have to say about
divine sovereignty. The main theistic positions--classical, open,
process--all have able representatives as their champions, and the
inclusion of responses allows the authors to do more than talk past
one another. This book lives up to its title."" --Kevin J.
