Talk:Divine providence

Copyright Violation
The new Christianity material, "WHAT SHOULD I BELIEVE ABOUT PROVIDENCE? OPTIONS IN CONTEMPORARY THEOLOGY" By John Mark Hicks, was lifted directly from http://johnmarkhicks.faithsite.com/content.asp?CID=6300
 * 1) This is a probable copyright violation (unless you are John Mark Hicks).
 * 2) This is probably POV in the sense that it is not (necessarily) representative of all Christianity (I don't know but speculate...).

So, please modify or remove.

Use by Deists
The article should mention that some Deists effectively used "Providence" as a less personally-theistic sounding alternative to the word "God" -- that's why the phrase "with a firm  reliance on the protection of divine Providence" appears in the United States Declaration of Independence...

In Christian thought
In Christian thought The second sentence reads (Calvinism emphasisizes the depravity of man and the complete sovereignty of God.)

Not meaning to be disrespectful but I found no such word in the dictionary for (emphasisizes)I could only find-

emphasis- n.; pl. -ses. 1. Special force or impressiveness of expression; stress. 2. In reading or speaking, a special force or prominence given to one or more words or syllables.

emphasize- v. To give emphasis to; to stress.

(Webster's Student Dictionary)

Calvinism emphasis's the depravity of man and the complete sovereignty of God.

Calvinism emphasizes

Calvinism emphasises

In terms of doing my paper I don't know which is correct

- It is not a proper noun, nor the proprietary trademarked concept of either a particular theology, or of God. There are style guide sections which apply, I'm sure. -Stevertigo (w | t | e) 17:06, 17 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Support. Lower case divine providence is found throughout scholarly works on the subject, along with other instances of Divine providence and Divine Providence. The lower case version is the most common. Binksternet (talk) 17:51, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
