Description

Challenging the assumption that the concept of divine action is necessarily paradoxical, on the grounds that God is radically transcendent of finitude, or can perform only a master act of creating and sustaining the universe, Frank Kirkpatrick defends as philosophically credible the Christian conviction that God is a personal Agent who also acts in particular historical moments to further the divine intention of fostering universal community.

Kirkpatrick claims that God and the world are distinct realities "together bound" in a mutual relationship of reciprocal historical action.

In this relationship, God both acts upon and responds to human beings in specific moments in their history.

The implications of this claim for understanding the biblical narrative, the problem of evil, cosmological theories, and the realism of Christian community are pursued.
