Drawing on years of experience in the classroom and the church, Adamson Co offers an introductory guide that uses the creation motif of the Bible to highlight the importance of providence for the Christian life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCo begins with a brief introduction to providence to give students the \"state of the question.\" He then explores the classical theme of the seventh and eighth days of creation as a helpful way to understand providence. He sets providence and human existence within the metanarrative of the Bible while explicating the doctrine in an overview fashion. Co demonstrates how the seventh and eighth days of creation bring clarity to traditional issues raised in systematic theology, such as preservation, governance, and concurrence; the problem of evil; and divine sovereignty and human free will.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eProvidence in the Story of Scripture\u003c\/i\u003e challenges readers to live out a life of partnership with God in his providence and shows how the blessed hope of the Christian faith is God's life-transforming providence for today.

Co is an attentive teacher who has figured it out, and more importantly, he has figured out a way to improve the doctrine's staying power. By setting providence within the main, plain narrative of Scripture, this book not only argues for but actually evokes a trust in God's providential care.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eFred Sanders\u003c\/b\u003e, Torrey Honors Institute, Biola University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This book offers both a basic introduction to providence and a hope-filled retrieval of a classic framework for the doctrine.

This book masterfully guides us through these questions of God's providence and more. A balanced, informed, and biblical textbook that feeds, informs, and equips us for our Christian journey.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eSam Chan\u003c\/b\u003e, EvQ School of Evangelism, City Bible Forum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Drawing on an admirably wide range of thinkers, Co seeks to 'trailblaze a new path in the doctrine of providence that would render it more accessible and, most of all, existentially relevant to lay people.'
