The God Who Trusts

Wm. Curtis Holtzen, John Sanders - IVP Academic

SINOPSE

The Bible resounds with affirmations of the faithfulness and trustworthiness of God. But might God also exhibit faith and trust?Standing in the tradition of theologians such as John Sanders, who argued that God is one who risks, Wm. Curtis Holtzen contends that God is not merely trustworthy or faithful, but that God is also one who trusts and has faith. According to Holtzen, because God is a being of relational love and exists in relationship with humans, who can freely choose to follow God, then God is a God who trusts.Such an argument might challenge our notion of who God is, yet Holtzen argues that understanding the relationship between divine trust and human faith can give us a fuller, truer picture of who God is and who we are.
