Description

Through in depth examination of the Biblical text as well as a scientific exploration of nature, Schroeder presents the case for a dynamic God, a God that is still learning how to relate to the creation it created. Schroeder retranslates a key verse in Exodus that is typically translated “I am that which I am.” His revelation that it should be “I will be that which I will be,” describes a God that is continually changing, a dynamic presence in our world.

With chapters on subjects such as how to understand a God who regrets, why God wants us to argue with him, why nature rebels, and much more, we ultimately learn how to become partners with God in his creation.
