What does it mean to endure, to wait, and to persevere-and, on other occasions, to reject patience in favor of resistance, haste, and disruptive action? And what might it mean to describe God as patient? Might patience play a leading role in a Christian account of God's creative work, God's relationship to ancient Israel, God's governance of history, and God's saving activity? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first instalment of \u003ci\u003ePatience-A Theological Exploration\u003c\/i\u003e engages these questions in searching, imaginative, and sometimes surprising ways. Following reflections on the biblical witness and the nature of constructive theological inquiry, its interpretative chapters engage landmark works by a number of ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary authors, disclosing both the promise and peril of talk about patience. Patience stands at the center of this innovative account of God's creative work, God's relationship with ancient Israel, creaturely sin, scripture, and God's broader providential and salvific purposes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Dafydd Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0567694380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780567694386\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e T\u0026amp;T Clark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.43w x 1.00d","brand":"Paul Dafydd Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070740394239,"sku":"9780567694386","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f2106191-c3f9-4842-81f9-4ef9d0d0132d.jpg?v=1685432091","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/patience-a-theological-exploration-paul-dafydd-jones-9780567694386","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
