God’s Grand Game

My belief that God is the sustainer and animator of the whole of creation is somewhat controversial among Christians and others who believe in free will. After all, if we do not have free will then ideas like sin, the fall, and judgment, don’t necessarily make sense. However, I believe there is a certain perspective… Continue reading

My greatest fascination in this life is with the area of theology known as ‘divine ontology’ — the nature of God’s being.
