Description: The Vigilant God (Revisited) is a reassessment of the theology of Providence, in the thought of four major Christian theologians, Augustine, Aquinas, Calvin and Barth, of their views on predestination, theodicy and free will, leading the author to a consider the role it might have for the future of humanity.
Review Quotes: "This welcome new edition of The Vigilant God, a title invited by Psalm 121, is not without a touch of irony, at any time, least of all in our own. Horton Davies declares, '...in these days of our confusion.' The concern is theodicy in terms of the doctrine of Providence in Augustine, Aquinas, Calvin, and Barth. Davies boldly, unpretentiously, and wisely offers the approachableness of the giants."--David Cain, University of Mary Washington
