Divine Providence
View through CrossRef
The doctrine of providence works out the connection between the active power of God, divine foresight, and the divine provision for human needs. It speaks of God conserving all things in being, his governance of history, and his actions as they relate to evil. The really tough case is the case where God works through the evil actions of human agents. This instance of providence can be defended by developing a weak theory of providence where God cooperates with the actions of human agents. Much damage is done to the doctrine when we misread the idea of divine power and when God’s power is divorced from God’s kindness.
