God, Race, and History

God, Race, and History makes a genuinely novel, and much needed, contribution. This is a creative and worthwhile study that reenergizes and perhaps saves the Reformed doctrine of Providence from the scrapheap of history.

Matt Jantzen not only provides a fresh reading of Barth he makes possible an account of providence that has been absent in much of modern theology. Hopefully, this book will attract a wide readership for no other reason than this is what theological work should look like. Theologians may actually have something to say about the way things are.

Where is the Spirit working in the world today? With clarity and thoughtfulness, Matt Jantzen explores how three outstanding thinkers—Hegel, Barth, and Cone—have answered this question. Carefully recovering their insights as well as drawing attention to their blind spots, Jantzen leads the reader to his own constructive proposal: that attending to divine providence today requires attunement to how 'the Spirit is giving life to ordinary, overlooked, and oppressed bodies.' Jantzen’s book is an important read for scholars in systematic theology and political theology.
