Description
The understanding of God in the Christian tradition is discussed and reasons are given for belief in the reality of this God. On both issues providence is of special importance. Yet providence must itself be shown to be real. This can be done only by studying the lives of particular people. The book can be read without difficulty by ordinary educated people.
The book is on the nature and reality of God. These are topics which have been discussed for hundreds of years by philosophers and theologians. But contributions to the discussed are still being made. And the issues can be set out plainly so that they can be readily grasped by people without specialized knowledge.
