God's Grand Game (Paperback)
The divine sovereignty versus human free will predicament has occupied the minds of philosophers and theologians for centuries. The question of the extent to which we are truly free creatures is of central importance to those who wish to make sense of what it means to be human.
God's Grand Game is author Steven Colborne's attempt to tackle the problem and offers readers the opportunity to consider the Christian worldview and other secular and religious worldviews from the perspective that a living God exists and is in control of everything that happens.
In the book’s eight parts and forty-five short chapters, and with reference to leading contemporary philosophers and theologians, the following questions are addressed:
• How can we be sure God exists?
• Do we have free will?
• Is God in control of evil and sin?
• Why would God cause severe suffering?
• Is it logical to be a Christian if God is the cause of suffering?
• Is God’s plan for there to be religious pluralism, or is Christianity the only true religion?
• What will be the religious future of humankind?
...and many more questions besides.
God's Grand Game is the most comprehensive and articulate exposition of Colborne’s philosophical perspective to date, and as a radical and controversial book containing concisely worded and carefully reasoned argument, is essential reading for anyone interested in philosophy, religion, or spirituality.
