Description
Summary:William J. Abraham’s fourth and final contribution to his Divine Agency and Divine Action series aims to further his case that the God of Christian tradition is best regarded as ‘a Tri-Personal Agent who is the object of our adoration and service’ (p. 20). The third entry, Systematic Theology (Oxford University Press, 2018), explored the significance of divine agency so conceived and divine actions (note the plural) for how we handle questions about, among other things, the doctrine of the Trinity, Christology, the Holy Spirit, creation and providence, ecclesiology, and eschatology; but here, in volume 4, subtitled A Theological and Philosophical Agenda, Abraham drills more deeply into the metaphysical foundations of Christian belief, for which tri-personal divine agency is the cornerstone and (to change the metaphor) a high point to view ‘a whole network of interesting questions that arise in doing systematic theology . . . from fresh angle[s]’ (p. 3).
