The God Who Is for Us: Explorations in Constructive Dogmatics (Scottish Dogmatics Conference). This item is unavailable.The God Who Is for Us: Explorations in Constructive Dogmatics (Scottish Dogmatics Conference)

How should we think about God? For Christianity, God is not merely the transcendent source and creator of the world; God is also immanently involved in creation, sustaining, upholding, and intervening in the cosmos in order to save and redeem beloved creatures. God is for us.

The inaugural Scottish Dogmatics Conference explores this dimension of the character and nature of God in dialogue with Scripture and the Christian tradition and in pursuit of constructive theology for today.
