Persons anguished by another's profound suffering are often
outraged by well-intentioned efforts to console them which suggest
that God 'sent' that horrific suffering to their loved one for a
'purpose' according to a tailor-made 'plan' for just that person.
However, the outraged reaction simply deepens the anguish. This
book argues that such 'consolation' is theologically problematic
because it assumes that unrestricted power is what makes God 'God.'
Against that it outlines an account of 'who' and 'what' the Triune
God is, framed in terms of God's intrinsic 'glory,' the attractive
and perfectly self-expressive self-giving in love that is God's
life, and sets limits to the range of things we can say God 'does.'
Correlatively it offers an account of different senses in which God
is 'sovereign' and 'powerful', one which reflects three ways God
relates to all else: to create, to bless eschatologically, and to
reconcile, as is scripturally narrated.
