The world's major monotheistic religions share the view that God acts in the world. This Element discusses the nature of divine action, with a specific focus on miracles or 'special' divine acts. Miracles are sometimes considered problematic. Some argue that they are theologically untenable or that they violate the laws of nature. Others claim that even if miracles occur, it is never rational to believe in them based on testimony. Still others maintain that miracles are not within the scope of historical investigation. After addressing these objections, the author examines the function of miracles as 'signs' in the New Testament.

Die Vorstellung von einem Plan Gottes spielt in allen theologischen Traktaten eine zentrale Rolle, sei es in der Schöpfungslehre, Soteriologie, Ethik oder Eschatologie. Angesichts dessen ist es irritierend, dass das göttliche Planen in der gegenwärtigen Theologie kaum zum expliziten Reflexionsgegenstand wird. Hier setzt der Band an. Unter Berücksichtigung heutiger Anfragen, die insbesondere seitens der Evolutionslehre und kritischen Vernunft ergehen, wird die Frage nach einer göttlichen Finalität interdisziplinär behandelt. Dabei ist der Blick auf die Schöpfung, den Menschen und sein sittliches Verhalten fokussiert. Im Zentrum der Beiträge stehen folgende Fragen: Verfolgt Gott mit seiner Schöpfung einen erkennbaren Plan? Inwiefern ist der Mensch in ihn involviert? Lassen sich aus ihm moralische Implikationen ableiten?--
