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.
In this scholarly and accessible volume, Ron Highfield presents an
overview of creation, providence and the problem of evil. He
explores a wide range of issues, including the biblical accounts of
creation, the dialogue between theology and science, models of
providence, philosophical problems of evil and the proposals of
open theism and process theism.

In imitation of classic tradition, Great is the Lord sets out the
Christian doctrine of God in a way designed to illumine the mind,
move the heart, and stir the soul to praise the triune God. Here,
Ronald Highfield introduces students, ministers, and others to the
doctrine of God held by the majority of the church from the second
to the twentieth century. This traditional opinion reveals God to
be triune, loving, merciful, gracious, patient, wise, one, simple,
omnipotent, omniscient, eternal, omnipresent, immutable,
impassible, and glorious.
Highfield draws on scripture, tradition, and widely esteemed
theologians to correct common misunderstandings and superficial
criticisms. He examines the modern practice, even among evangelical
or conservatives, of first rehearsing the shortcomings of
"traditional" theological teaching and then claiming that classical
doctrines paint God as uncaring, uninvolved, and a threat to human
freedom. Great is the Lord revisits this classic doctrine so
accused to discover that, far from being the creator of such an
unpleasant god, it actually preserves our confidence in God's love
and his liberating action better than its opponents do. That
traditional doctrine, Highfield argues, grounds our dignity and
freedom in the center of reality, the Trinitarian life of God.
Highfield's work here maintains the highest intellectual
standards, while offering a true theology for the praise of
God.
