Divine Providence

"Bruce Reichenbach is a philosopher who situates his reflections in the context of a thorough engagement with biblical teaching about God's action in the world. Recommended for those who wish to scrutinize the philosophical and theological assumptions that are foundational for a doctrine of providence."

--William Hasker, Former Editor, Faith and Philosophy



"Entering into the widespread debates about providence and open theism, Bruce Reichenbach provides us with a rich and detailed feast in this new book. His approach is not narrowly philosophical, but holistic, rightly engaging biblical, theological, and spiritual dimensions of this important doctrine. While not every dish will suit every taste, the work is surprisingly easy to digest, while still being intellectually nourishing. I recommend this to anyone interested in learning more about the God we worship, a God who provides out of love."

--Alan G. Padgett, Professor of Systematic Theology, Luther Seminary



"In a day where sound bites and tweets have, for many, taken the place of sustained, careful, constructive thinking on demanding theological and philosophical issues, Bruce Reichenbach offers a feast of carefully researched and reasoned reflections on one of the most difficult of all areas: divine providence. While we hold several fundamentally different theological commitments, I share with the author a commitment to the crucial importance of the issues with which he deals so skillfully, and I appreciate also the clarity and thoroughness of his writing. For one working from commitments of libertarian freedom and general sovereignty, I know of no better treatment of divine providence. Although readers may draw different conclusions, all will be both stimulated and informed deeply from this excellent treatment."
