"That gentle theologian, Daniel Day Williams, before his untimely death. set down with striking clarity and simplicity his thoughts about some of our most complex issues: the demonic, the tragic, hope, resurrection, and the renewal of society. His process orientation casts new and helpful light on the theological task today."
Walter Wink

"The gulf between the church and the academic guild disappears in the work of Daniel Day Williams. He wrote for the church without for a moment condescending or 'popularizing' in the cheap sense. Even as he wrote for the ordinary Christian, his formulations offered an alternative for the professional theologian as well. He addressed perennial issues, and he did so out of a breadth of vision and depth of insight that give a classic character to his work. It speaks to the needs of today's Christian without translation. It will continue to do so."
John B. Cobb, Jr.

"This book is a new and never published message from one of the most admired theologians in recent decades. Even the author's style is different from that in his former works. The first part is a fascinating study of the deep mysteries of evil both in personal relations and in historical events. The second part is about the mysteries of grace, about New Testament indications and symbols about the human future both in history and transcending history. Williams's discussion of the human future is influenced by process theology and it augments his well-known work, The Spirit and the Forms of Love."
