Reactions to story from City of God
Mystery and providence
http://civitatedei.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 07/ 29/ myster...
In addition to the Trinity and the Incarnation, I also (apparently along with Anderson) happen to think God’s relation to creation is a paradox, at least with regards to providence and the freedom of creatures. In my own reading, many Calvinists have been ready to admit this very quickly; in fact, in many ways, an appeal to mystery is at the heart of the system of Calvinism (think of the importance Paul’s retort in Romans 9:20 to many Calvinists). But is this a flaw, or a benefit? Doug Wilson, in reviewing David Bentley Hart’s The Doors of the Sea, made an interesting comment in response to someone defending Hart: We need also to remember the pastoral considerations.
