New book ‘How Does God Act in the World’

ECLAS Project Director, the Revd Prof David Wilkinson, has published a new book on ministry, miracles, and mission.

How Does God Act in the World is a book for Christians, church leaders, and anyone interested in the questions of if, and how, God acts in the world.

These questions are central to Christian theology, mission and ministry.

Is God simply a creator who goes on holiday and leaves the universe to develop, or is God the one who is embodied in Jesus, the God of signs and wonders, death and resurrection? And what does this mean for signs and wonders today, in the lives of individuals and local churches?

From The Simpsons to a wedding in Cana, from grace to quantum theory, and from the problem of evil to eschatology, David argues that the biblical picture of a God who acts in the world makes sense in the light of modern science, but how God acts cannot be reduced to simple models.

Published by Wipf & Stock, the book is widely available.
