| Summary |
In the final of four volumes, the author seeks an account of God as agent. Systematic theology raises deep metaphysical questions about the central concepts we use in our thinking about God. Abraham illumines the concept of God as agent by attending to various traditional problems in Christina doctrine like the relation of freedom and grace, divine action in liberation theology, the presence of God in the Eucharist, divine providence, the relationship of Chrisitanity and Islam, the relation of the natural science to theology and apparent design, and the realm of the demonic. Divine action is the point of departure for reflection on these topics |
