Co Adam - Providence In The Story Of Scripture The Work Of God Through Creation Fall Redemption And New Creation - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: The doctrine of providence is often too abstract complex or detached from real - life situations for introductory students. Drawing on years of experience in the classroom and the church Adam Co offers an introductory guide that uses the creation motif of the Bible to highlight the importance of providence for the Christian life. Co begins with a brief introduction to providence to give students the "state of the question." He then explores the classical theme of the seventh and eighth days of creation as a helpful way to understand providence. He sets providence and human existence within the metanarrative of the Bible while explicating the doctrine in an overview fashion. Co demonstrates how the seventh and eighth days of creation bring clarity to traditional issues raised in systematic theology such as preservation governance and concurrence; the problem of evil; and divine sovereignty and human free will. This book challenges readers to live out a life of partnership with God in his providence and shows how the blessed hope of the Christian faith is God's life - transforming providence for today.
