Providence in the Story of Scripture

The Work of God Through Creation, Fall, Redemption, and New Creation

By: Adamson Co, Kevin J. Vanhoozer - foreword

Narrated by: Mike Chamberlain

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, Adamson 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, such as preservation, governance, and concurrence; the problem of evil; and divine sovereignty and human free will.

Providence in the Story of Scripture challenges listeners to live out a life of partnership with God in his providence and shows how the blessed hope of the Christian faith is God's life-transforming providence for today. The book includes a foreword by Kevin J. Vanhoozer.

Very interesting and detailed look at providence in light of the lords return

This book looks at providence as part of the 8th day of creation I wish there were notes or an outline to help follow the details.
