The word 'providence' seems to have dropped out of our everyday Christian vocabulary. But questions about God's activity in our world his 'provide-ence' for us and his creation are as alive as ever before.
Providence is the point at which theologians and the broader Christian community find their most intense conversations. Questions about God's activity in the world today, his guidance of believers, human freedom versus divine will, the place of prayer in the workings of his will, his responsibility for evil all of these are related to his providence. How we think about these issues is deeply related to our understanding of God and of how we should serve and worship him.
In the face of recent arguments that God's knowledge of the future is limited and that he therefore takes risks, Paul Helm undergirds his discussion of divine providence with an understanding of God as risk-free. 'The Providence of God' is a clear, vigorous and thought-provoking introduction to a critical area of theology.

Part of the Contours of Christian Theology I found Helm's work robust and well within the reformed tradition. It is not heavily weighed with exegesis and tends to spend more time in the philosophical arguments for God's ultimate sovereignty as expressed in His orchestra of life. \\r\\n\\r\\nHelm holds to the classic view; the Lord knows all things and permits them to come to be as part of His holy decree, hence God has """"no risk"""". Helm argues against modern evangelicals who espouse a God who """"takes risks"""". \\r\\n4. 2 oo 5
