This book argues that theism has always understood the divine as awaiting human cognisance and worship.
"A challenging and profitable read." -- The Expository Times. "This book is concerned to stress the reciprocity and mutual trust that subsist between the divine and the human. Creation was not so much an act of power as a gift or delegation of God's own creativity... the act of creation was a risk in which God entrusted himself to human beings, who have the possibility of becoming co-workers, but are not forced to be such. This general thesis is then illustrated and confirmed in an examination in some of the major areas of human endeavour. The argument is enlivened throughout by a wealth of illustration from literature." -- John MacQuarrie, DD, formerly Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity, Oxford. "Bishop Cragg develops the case for Christian theism in a book that will challenge the confident agnostic or atheist no less than the Muslim or Jew. This is a distinguished book in a crowded field." -- Shabbir Akhtar, International Islamic University, Malaysia.
