The confessing church in our time treats frivolously the doctrinal deposit of its theological inheritance. The clamor of festival for the reconstruction of belief-systems has too frequently missed older and safer moorings. In a postmodern age that countenances person belief-idiosyncrasies and accords them sanctity, the reply to the standard man's query, "What is the gospel?" is frequently clouded and careworn. opposed to doctrinal uncertainties and insecurities, The Immediacy of God brings again into prominence a couple of foundational matters on the topic of the doctrines of God and salvation, of theology and soteriology. In doing so, it anchors its thought-structure within the uncomplicated apologetic presupposition that God is, and within the primary hermeneutical precept of divine covenantal function.

The originality of Vickers' argument lies in its inspiration of latest views on its selected subject-range and, because it turns into invaluable for the elucidation of biblical trust, its serious reaction to proposals for brand spanking new theological paradigms. The organizing center of the book's argument is its proposition in regards to the immediacy of God in his being, his wisdom, his will, and his activities. That center proposition spills its impact to points of human salvation. On such degrees, questions are raised that strike to the guts of the which means of the divinely instituted redemptive procedure. Divine activities inside of that strategy are understood to be "immediate," instead of "mediate." Redemptive activities of God are "immediate" within the feel that no mediating reasons exist among these activities and their results and results within the human situation.

Douglas Vickers is Professor Emeritus of Economics on the collage of Massachusetts. between his contemporary titles in doctrinal and apologetic theology are while God Converts a Sinner; the feel of fact; Divine Redemption and the safe haven of religion; Christian Confession and the Crackling Thorn; and The Fracture of Faith.
