With dogged yet irenic spirit, McCann identifies and effectively restores an element one might have presumed to be foundational for any exploration of 'God' in Abrahamic faiths: free creation.\u003c\/p\u003e * Modern Theology *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMcCann displays many intellectual virtues in this book: his arguments are well-developed, he carefully considers and refutes objections, and he creatively identifies and recasts mental images or analogies that might make his views appear implausible. This last virtue is aided particularly by his background in action theory. Though McCann's book is often difficult, it rewards the reader with a (perhaps surpris- ingly) forceful defense of a currently unpopular theology.\u003c\/p\u003e * Heythrop Journal *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003cbr\u003e1.
