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.
