| Summary: | Taking up the mystery of divine providence, the author suggests that the terms “God's will” and “God's desires” correspond to different understandings of the God-world and God-human relationship. In the former, the focus seems to be on the fulfilment of the unchanging divine plan for creation; in the latter, attention is directed to the strictly contingent decisions of creatures and God's flexibility in somehow ordering them to a higher purpose and goal. Divine providence is active in both cases but in quite different ways. |
