SynopsisPaul Helm introduces the doctrine of divine providence--focusing on metaphysical and moral aspects and especially noting divine control, providence and evil, and the role of prayer. In the Contours of Christian Theology., In this concise and accessible introduction, Paul Helm outlines for students and interested readers the doctrine of divine providence. Unlike many doctrinal treatments, his approach is not historically oriented. Instead Helm focuses on the underlying metaphysical and moral aspects of God's providence, paying particular attention to the ideas of divine control, providence and evil, and the role of prayer in relationship to providence.
Calvanist "no risk" view of providence contrasted with "risk views"
This book provides a logical exposition of the no-risk view of divine providence, and contrasts the Calvanist no-risk view with the Arminian-type risk views. The author is logical and articulate, and unafraid to address both the strengths and weaknesses of the various classes of views on providence. Special attention is given to the problem of evil and its implications in relation to the providence of God.
