The concept of providence is embedded in the life and theology of the church. Its uses are frequent and varied in understandings of politics, nature, and individual life-stories. Parallels can be discerned in other faiths. In this volume, David Fergusson traces the development of providential ideas at successive periods in church history. These include the early appropriation of Stoic and Platonic ideas, the codification of providence in the Middle Ages, its foregrounding in Reformed theology, and its secular applications in the modern era. Responses to the Lisbon earthquake (1755) provide an instructive case study. Although confidence in divine providence was shaken after 1914, several models were advanced during the twentieth century. Drawing upon this diversity of approaches, Fergusson offers a chastened but constructive account for the contemporary church. Arguing for a polyphonic approach, he aims to distribute providence across all three articles of the faith.

Die Autorin befasst sich mit dem jüdischen Gelehrten Ben Sira und mit der stoischen Philosophie. Sie analysiert dort jeweils die verschiedenen Vorstellungen von der Voraussicht und Fürsorge Gottes für die Welt. Diese werden in ihrem Spannungsverhältnis zur Freiheit und Verantwortlichkeit des Menschen in den Blick genommen. Gegenstand der Untersuchung, die sich im Grenzbereich zwischen Exegese und Systematik bewegt, ist die Position Ben Siras im Kontext des Hellenismus. Zentraler Bezugspunkt ist die Alte Stoa. Der Vergleich zeigt in vielen Punkten eine Nähe von Ben Sira zu stoischem Gedankengut. Dabei führt Ben Siras Auseinandersetzung mit der Stoa nicht zu einem Verlust der jüdischen Identität, sondern trägt zu ihrer Neufundierung bei. The author deals with the Jewish scholar Ben Sira and with Stoic philosophy. She analyzes their various views concerning God’s foresight and care of the world. These are illuminated in their relationship of tension to the freedom and responsibility of man. Ben Sira’s position to the context of Hellenism is the object of this study, which is located in the border area between exegesis and systematic theology. The ancient Stoa is the central point of reference. The comparison shows in many points a closeness of Ben Sira to Stoic thought. Ben Sira’s dealing with the Stoa, however, does not lead to a loss of Jewish identity, but to a re-establishing of it.
