Reviews
The doctrine of providence reflects how God guides his creation and has been widely conceived in action terms in recent theological scholarship. Divine action is then modelled on human action...To sum it up: this by Kopf is worthwhile reading, especially when dealing with the question of evolution on one hand and God's providence on the other in the dialogue between science and theology (religion). * Sybille C. Fritsch-Oppermann, Reviews in Science, Religion and Theology, 2(2) *

Fritsch-Oppermann, Reviews in Science, Religion and Theology, 2(2) * It will surely be a significant contribution to Aquinas scholarship. It explores and espouses classical metaphysics rigorously, and argues its case meticulously...Most important, its substantive argument for a notion of radical divine transcendence is, in my view, right and necessary for theology in general, as well as specifically for this vital doctrine of providence. * Vernon White, King's College London, Heythrop Journal * It explores and espouses classical metaphysics rigorously, and argues its case meticulously. It is clear and generally well signposted...Most important, its substantive argument for a notion of radical divine transcendence is, in my view, right and necessary for theology in general, as well as specifically for this vital doctrine of providence. * Vernon White, King's College, London, Heythrop Journal * Kopf's book offers a timely and relevant contribution to the contemporary Thomistic position in the DAD...the book will definitely be one of the important points of reference for all present and future scholars engaging in DAD and critically evaluating DAP. * Mariusz Tabaczek O.P., Theology and Science *
