Hi everyone, if you all remember my Q&A on Calvinism video, I referred to an important article by Graham Cole where he argues that God is proactive, interactive, and reactive.

Graham A. Cole, "The Living God: Anthropomorphic or Anthropopathic?" RTR 59. (2000): 16-27.

Many of you asked me about Cole’s article, so I thought I’d do one better, and interview him about divine sovereignty and divine responsiveness.

In the interview, we discuss:

- What must be true of the universe for God to be able to answer prayer? - What do deterministic Calvinists get wrong? - What do open theists get wrong? - What are anthropomorphisms and anthropopathisms? - How is God proactive, interactive, and reactive? - What is divine causality? - Gospel and election. - God as personal and Christ-like.

Find it here in audio and video.

Let me know what you think?

If you want a copy of Graham’s article, email me through the Ridley website!
