Scholars of theology mostly from Britain and the US survey the broad interest in providence by theologians today. They cover the history of the doctrine of providence, its treatment by systematic theology, science, and politics and ethics. Among specific topics are providence and common grace, time and persons in the economy of God, a systematic proposal concerning providence and the evolutionary phenomenon of cooperation, and political discernment.
