Finally, this view of God and the evolving world yields implications for our understanding of human action. Moral agency, even God's work of redemption, unfolds according to an ethic of risk rather than by the quick fix of determinative control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCrysdale, Cynthia:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCynthia Crysdale \u003c\/b\u003eis professor of Christian ethics and theology at the School of Theology at Sewanee: University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee.
