Given all that we now know about the world and mankind, in what way
might God be said to have any influence at all on nature, man and
history? How can the hope and confidence expressed in prayer be
reconciled with the research of the scientist, psychologist and
sociologist? These are the important questions with which Professor
Langford deals in his book. He begins by exploring three more
specific issues. What kind of guidance or intervention is alleged
to be involved in claims about providence? Is the claim that
providence is at work in any sense an empirical claim? How can any
intervention or involvement be attributed to the timeless and
passionless God of the Christian tradition? He then reviews the
historical background to modern discussion about providence, and
illustrates the typical use of the concept by five analogies: the
sun, the wind, the tide, space-time and human action. This leads
him to explore special questions about the possible working of God
in the different orders of the natural world, the human world and
history. Finally, having explored the basic grammar of the concept
of providence, he faces the fundamental questions of the coherence
and validity of the concept in the twentieth century. He concludes
that, for all the difficulties, a case can be made out for both
general and special providence.
