Is God 'In Control'? | N.T. Wright Online

Is God in control? If so, is God a 'micromanager' of our every thought and action?

In this video, Prof. N.T. Wright insists that we must reframe the idea of control, and God's role in history, in light of the story of Jesus.

Consider how a God can lament, weep, and even be crucified in this fascinating Q&A session from Part One of our course on History and Eschatology, Knowing God in the Created World.

For hundreds of years, people have wondered what we can know about God based on the evidence of the world in which we live. Theologians and philosophers have pondered this question under the name of Natural Theology, with greater or lesser success.

Prof. N.T. Wright asserts that to answer this question with fidelity requires putting Jesus back in the middle of the question. The line of thought explored in this course seeks to do just that, through a thoroughgoing investigation into modern Western attitudes about history and its validity as a domain of inquiry.

The result being that in learning something about God we might also learn a thing or two about our knowledge of the natural world, and about the nature of our knowledge.
