Recenzje

The doctrine of providence reflects how God guides his creation and has been widely conceived in action terms in recent theological scholarship. Divine action is then modelled on human action...To sum it up: this by Kopf is worthwhile reading, especially when dealing with the question of evolution on one hand and God's providence on the other in the dialogue between science and theology (religion).
