Author Steven Colborne is on a mission to awaken people to the reality that a sovereign God exists who is actively unfolding all events in creation. A first-class graduate with a postgraduate certificate in Philosophy and Religion, Colborne is the author of more than a dozen books in the philosophical theology genre.
God’s Grand Game is Colborne’s magnum opus and is the result of more than ten years of study and reflection by the author in relation to the divine sovereignty versus human free will predicament. In the book’s eight parts and forty-five short chapters, and with reference to leading contemporary philosophers and theologians, the following questions are addressed:
- How can we be sure God exists?
- Do we have free will?
- Is God in control of evil and sin?
- Why would God cause severe suffering?
- Is it logical to be a Christian if God is the cause of suffering?
- Is God’s plan for there to be religious pluralism, or is Christianity the only true religion?
- What will be the religious future of humankind?
- And many more questions besides.
As well as having written several bestsellers in Amazon’s philosophy categories, Steven Colborne is well known for his website Perfect Chaos which was recognised by FeedSpot as a Top 10 UK blog in both the Philosophy and Theology categories in 2018 and at the time of writing has over 6000 subscribers from more than 200 different countries.
God’s Grand Game is the most comprehensive and articulate exposition of Colborne’s philosophical perspective to date and is highly recommended reading for anyone interested in philosophy, religion, or spirituality.
