What Is Relational Theology?
Manage episode 450263082 series 1034406
What is relational sovereignty?
Christians wrestle with how to understand how God’s sovereignty works. On the one hand, the Bible clearly presents God as sovereign over all the universe. But, at the same time, it also presents God’s will and activity as being flexible and even acted upon by His creation.
We read the Bible and see that God could deliver His people from suffering, and sometimes He does, but much more often we are left to suffer in this life. How can we square that reality with the promise that God is a God of love?
Many Christians hold to a view of sovereignty commonly called “meticulous determinism,” or “meticulous providence.” But this view does not account for much of what we see in Scripture and it logically concludes with God being a monster Who makes sport of human beings.
A smaller number of Christians hold a view commonly called “open Theism,” where God is not actually sovereign.
Is there another way to understand what is revealed in Scripture but also squares with the problem of suffering?
Relational sovereignty offers the way.
