How is God sovereign with respect to creation? Does creation affect God? Does God suffer or change because of creation? If so, how is this related to Christology? Why have these questions been so controversial in evangelical theology, even costing some people their jobs? This book is a collection of lectures given to the Forum for Evangelical Theology at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. Six theologians answer the questions above from a variety of perspectives. They draw on resources including the church fathers, Thomas Aquinas, John Calvin, Jurgen Moltmann, process theology, and open theism. In the process of answering the question, does God suffer? each theologian also illustrates how responding to this subject requires an examination of other crucial evangelical issues, such as how we read Scripture and what it means to proclaim that God is love. Although the writers answer these questions in a variety of ways, the hope is that engaging in this conversation together can help evangelicals and all Christians to speak more faithfully of our sovereign God.

Finding Yourself in His Grand Design God's plan is exciting and timely and God's Word is relevant today! Henrietta Mears' vital concern was for people - that they might have a comprehensive grasp of the Bible and realize that God has a wonderful plan to reveal to each one who seeks Him. In God's Plan, you'll discover that God does have a plan, and His plan is eternal. His plan predates creation, and continues forever, without limits. The essence of God's plan is love, pure unrequited love, by the Almighty God for people. This love prompted God to create the heavens and the earth, to select a chosen people, to reveal the plan of salvation, to establish the church, to direct the activities of that which He has created, and one day to return in glory.

The declaration by Paul the Apostle that "if any one be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold, all things are become new" encapsulates the restorative transformation of the believer. Yet many don't have a clear understanding of the status this transformation confers on the believer in Christ. In The Position of the Adopted Child of God, Dr. Uruakpa presents in a readable and compelling language the transcendent newness of the adopted child of God, detailing the necessity of the adoption; the cost, method, and consequences of the adoption; and the benefits of the newness accruing to the believer in the form of their secure inheritance. The author sounds a note of warning to twenty-first-century believers to beware of all the forces that threaten to sabotage this privileged position as God's adopted child. This position, in spite of all odds, the author underscores, is unassailable in the life of the child of God, who is seated with Christ--astounding!
