David Fergusson (University of Edinburgh)

The Providence of God

A Polyphonic Approach

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is a critical exploration of the theology of providence in the history of the church. Particular attention is devoted to the practical contexts of providentialism in politics, science and spirituality in the modern era. While critical of traditional formulations and uses, the volume aims to offer a chastened but constructive account.
