Publisher's 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.

essential kenosis

I always enjoy Dr. Oord's writing. I first met him online as one of my Professors at a school I was attending and when I stopped going I made sure to follow him on Facebook. I find his ideas to be refreshing. He has put down ideas I have only thought about. I will continue reading his other books and I will be reading this one with my hard copy I own.
