What might it mean to describe God as patient? How might this motif illuminate God's creative work, God's governance of history, and God's saving action? Paul Dafydd Jones answers these questions by expertly guiding students through the meaning of patience in the Bible, and examining claims about divine and human patience.

Jones offers examples from the works of Augustine of Hippo, Julian of Norwich, John Calvin, Karl Barth and other theological thinkers to argue for patience playing a leading role in theological reflection.

Through examining theological language, Jones offers analysis of biblical perspectives on patience and related terms. His chronological narrative allows readers to grasp the evolution of perceiving patience through an extensive context of Christian doctrines, such as the Trinity, Christology, providence and creation. He also emphasizes that the motif of patience should play a leading role in Christian theological reflection on God's ways and works.
