The God Who Risks
Book •
John Sanders' 'The God Who Risks' argues for an understanding of God that embraces relational risk, suggesting that genuine love entails the possibility of non-actualized outcomes and human freedom.
Sanders develops open theism, proposing that God does not exhaustively determine future free actions and thus experiences dynamic relationships with creatures.
The book challenges classical notions of absolute divine control, offering theological and philosophical arguments for a more relational divine providence.
It engages topics such as the problem of evil, divine foreknowledge, and the nature of prayer, positioning risk as intrinsic to authentic divine-human interaction.
Sanders' work has been influential and debated within contemporary discussions on providence and theism.
