Questions about divine providence have preoccupied Christians for
generations: to what degree does God concern himself with and
intervene in the affairs of everyday life? This book introduces
readers to four prevailing views on divine providence, with
particular attention to the questions of human free will, the
problem of evil, and God's perception of time. Volume contributors
and their basic viewpoints are: Paul Helseth - God causes every
creaturely event that occurs. William Lane Craig - through his
"middle knowledge," God controls the course of worldly affairs
without predetermining any creatures' free decisions. Ron Highfield
- God controls creatures by liberating their decision-making.
Gregory Boyd - human decisions can be free only if God neither
determines nor knows what they will be. Introductory and closing
essays by Dennis Jowers give relevant background and guide readers
toward their own informed beliefs about divine providence. Four
Views on Divine Providence helps readers think theologically and
biblically about all the issues involved in exploring this
doctrine. The point-counterpoint format reveals the assumptions and
considerations that drive equally learned and sincere theologians
to disagreement with each other. It unearths the genuinely decisive
issues beneath a philosophically dense debate. The Counterpoints
series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on
topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and
respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop
reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions
on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.
