Andrew Davison (University of Cambridge)

Participation in God

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Few ideas have excited greater interest among theologians in recent decades than the idea of 'participation': the idea that everything comes from, and depends upon, God, in a way that invites use of the language of sharing, or of an exemplar and its images. This book is an extensive and cohesive exploration of this theme to date.
