Providence In The Story Of Scripture

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
