This book by a leading scholar of Christian theology and exegesis is a capstone of years of research on the history and theology of the doctrine of providence. Addressing a topic of perennial interest in Christian theology, Mark Elliott offers a constructive account of the doctrine of providence and shows that, contrary to received opinion, the Bible has a lot to say about providence as a distinct doctrine within the wider scope of God's acts of salvation.Elliott explains that providence operates outside the range of knowledge and full comprehensibility, eluding faith and transcending revelation. Therefore, readers must look for traces of God's action in the stories and philosophies of the biblical authors, which appear in the biblical corpus in such themes as the hand of God, the face of God, the kingdom, the plan of God, blessing, life, breath, enduring order, judgment, protection, and the hidden God. Elliott explores these themes in such a way that the entirety of the Bible across both Testaments bears witness to the theme of providence. He concludes by showing how the findings of his analysis speak to the concerns of systematic and practical theologians.

This volume, edited by René Brouwer and Emmanuele Vimercati, deals with the debate about fate, providence and free will in the early Imperial age. This debate is rekindled in the 1st century CE during emperor Augustus’ rule and ends in the 3rd century CE with Plotinus and Origen, when the different positions in the debate were more or less fully developed. The book aims to show how in this period the notions of fate, providence and freedom were developed and debated, not only within and between the main philosophical schools, that is Stoicism, Aristotelianism, and Platonism, but also in the interaction with other, “religious” movements, here understood in the general sense of groups of people sharing beliefs in and worship of (a) superhuman controlling power(s), such as Gnosticism, Hermetism as well as Judaism and Christianity.

"In Medieval Theories of Divine Providence 1250-1350 Mikko Posti presents a historical and philosophical study of the doctrine of divine providence in 13th- and 14th-century Latin philosophical theology. In addition to offering a fresh and engaging reading of Thomas Aquinas's ideas concerning providence, Posti focuses on Siger of Brabant, Peter Auriol and Thomas Bradwardine, among others. The book also provides an extended treatment of the relatively little-known 13th-century work Liber de bona fortuna, consisting of Latin translations of chapters found originally in Aristotle's Ethica Eudemia and Magna moralia. In their treatments of Liber de bona fortuna, the medieval theologians provided philosophically interesting explanations of good fortune and its relationship to divine providence"--

"A longstanding question at the intersection of science, philosophy, and theology is how God might act, or not, when governing the universe. Many believe that determinism would prevent God from acting at all, since to do so would require violating the laws of nature. However, when a robust view of these laws is coupled with the kind of determinism now used in dynamics, a new model of divine action emerges. This book presents a new approach to divine action beyond the current focus on quantum mechanics and esoteric gaps in the causal order. It bases this approach on two general points. First, that there are laws of nature is not merely a metaphor. Second, laws and physical determinism are now understood in mathematically precise ways that have important implications for metaphysics. The explication of these two claims shows not only that nonviolationist divine action is possible, but there is considerably more freedom available for God to act than current models allow. By bringing a philosophical perspective to an issue often dominated by theologians and scientists, this text redresses an imbalance in the discussion around divine action. It will, therefore, be of keen interest to scholars of Philosophy and Religion, the Philosophy of Science, and Theology"--

Aux côtés de Friedrich Hayek, et avant que Milton Friedman n’imprime son empreinte à partir des années I960, l’économiste allemand Wilhelm Röpke (1899-1966), installé à Genève après avoir fui le nazisme, a été l’autre grand fondateur du néolibéralisme. Exploitant de nombreuses archives, cet ouvrage recourt aux outils de l’histoire intellectuelle et transnationale pour proposer une autre lecture d’un phénomène trop souvent encore réduit à ses manifestations les plus contemporaines et les plus anglo-saxonnes, alors qu’il plonge ses racines dans la crise des années 1930 et prend forme en Suisse au lendemain immédiat de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Loin de l’érudition et de l’anecdote, par-delà le souci de redonner son importance à une figure étonnamment délaissée par les chercheurs, la biographie est ici une démarche de contextualisation visant à expliquer le succès d’un intellectuel autant sociologue qu’économiste. Incontournable en Suisse et en Allemagne, très lié aux nouveaux conservateurs américains, pourfendeur du « collectivisme » sous toutes ses formes, préoccupé du sort de l’Amérique latine et de l’Afrique, publiant dans toutes les langues, Wilhelm Röpke a incarné la variante néolibérale de l’intellectuel engagé. Au-delà de la dénonciation du keynésianisme, de l’interventionnisme et de l’Etat providence, ses écrits et ses réseaux permettent de cerner le néolibéralisme comme un regard global sur le monde, comme une philosophie politique et sociale ambivalente dans son rapporté la modernité, comme une mobilisation de combat et d’influence à l’échelle occidentale. L’écho rencontré par Wilhelm Röpke illustre la renaissance des idées libérales et conservatrices dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle et le rôle majeur joué dans leur fermentation et leur diffusion par les intellectuels émigrés d’origine germanique.
