Last autumn, I bought a copy of John Cobb’s book, “Jesus’ Abba.” Cobb argues (as do I, sometimes) that over the centuries the institutional church has smothered the close relationship Jesus obviously had with his Abba by turning a loving Daddy into a distant and autocratic God-The-Father-Almighty.
But it was Cobb’s subtitle that caught me: “The God who has not failed.”
I heard myself asking, why can’t God fail? Or, perhaps more precisely, why are we not willing to let God fail?
