Abstract
Abstract The main purpose of this book is to foster a reframing of the doctrine of providence by reconceptualising the notion of divine providence. The standard view in the divine action debate is premised upon two prominent assumptions: that (i) providence is best conceptualised in terms of divine action; and that (ii) divine action is best modelled on human action. On this common view, then, divine providence is, at its core, a specific form of action God performs in the world. The conclusion shows how by challenging this preoccupation with, and at times exclusive focus on, action terms, this book aims to shift the conversation towards an alternative approach conceiving divine providence not primarily on the basis of human action but instead by analogy with the virtue of prudence and human providence. The conclusion summarises the findings of the book and gives three reasons why reframing the doctrine of providence in this manner is significant for the divine action debate.
