Publisher's Description: Few things distinguish Christian and secular worldviews with greater clarity than the doctrine of providence: that everything that happens is the outcome of the sovereign overruling of God - everything!. What is Providence? examines this truth by observing how the Bible explains the complex lives of men and women as well as weighing opposing viewpoints, including Open Theism and Molinistic views of "middle knowledge."

"The Basics of the Reformed Faith series of booklets provides us with brief, clear, accurate and edifying introductions to key aspects of Christian life and experience.

"Derek Thomas is well-qualified to write on the subject of Providence. He wonderfully combines in one person the lucidity of a professor of theology, the sensitivity of a gifted pastor, and the personal experience of a Christian who has learned much about God's ways in his own life. He is the ideal "Mr. Interpreter" to plot our way through life with a deep confidence in God's wise and sovereign love. The value of What Is Providence? is out of all proportion to its size. Here is a booklet to "read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest." And once you have done that, buy a little stock so that you always have one to give to those who ask, 'Why did God . . . .?'"
-Sinclair B Ferguson, The First Presbyterian Church, Columbia
