Brief history and architecture guide of nine churches in Providence, R.I.

The Laws of Providence, by Jesuit Professor of Theology Henri Ramiere, discusses the three tenets of God's providence from the perspective of the Society of Jesus. Offering insight into Jesuit spirituality and theology, Ramiere reveals how God directs his will through every creature and person on the Earth. He approaches the phenomena of providence in three ways: the method of how every worldly deed glorifies God; how God communicated his message through his Son, Jesus Christ; and how the church is destined to found the Kingdom which Christ described in the New Testament. Much of the book's content reflects the attitudes and spirituality of the Society of Jesus - or Jesuit - congregation of Christianity. The views detailed by Ramiere run deep in the scholarship of the Jesuit order, but are supported by frequent quotation of the Biblical passages and the author's own, lucid explanations. Ramiere writes with clarity, making it easy for readers to see the various ways that God influences all living things.
