Summary

Rarely does a new theological position emerge to account well for life in the world, including not only goodness and beauty but also tragedy and randomness. Drawing from scripture, science, philosophy, and various theological traditions, Thomas Jay Oord offers a novel theology of providence - essential kenosis - that emphasizes God's inherently non-coercive love in relation to creation.

The Uncontrolling Love of God provides a clear and powerful answer to the problem of evil, the problem of chance, and how God acts providentially in the world.
