Sussex Academic Press, 1999 - 272 Seiten
Bishop Cragg, an author and Arabist, emphasizes the mutual trust between humans and the divine in essays on language, law, love, truth, tribe, selfhood, nature, power, time, and worship. Within the act of creation, Cragg poses, God entrusted himself to human beings, which have the freedom to work with or against God, resulting in God's "divine risk." The argument is illuminated by examples from different religions, and from literature and poetry. Distributed by ISBS. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
