The Mystery and Agency of God Divine Being and Action in the World

Kirkpatrick, Frank G.

The Mystery and Agency of God Divine Being and Action in the World Frank G. Kirkpatrick - U.S.A. Fortress 2014 - 163tr. Paperback 23cm

There are two philosophical commitments requisite to Christian belief: that God is the ultimate mystery and that God is present and active in the world. Attempting to avoid the trappings of a radical instantiation and the immanent collapse of God and the world, Frank Kirkpatrick argues for a theory of agency and action that preserves the mystery of God while providing a philosophically robust account of divine action in created time and space. Kirkpatrick proposes a way around the stalemates that have stymied thought on divine agency and enters into conversation with significant figures in systema.
