The blog world has recently been filled with numerous posts from theologians debating the extent of control God had in the collapse of the 35W bridge. Pastor John Piper began the discussion a few hours after the tragedy, as Pastor Greg Boyd responded about a week later. Postconservative Roger Olson also weighs in here. These men bring many varying viewpoints, resulting in extended dialogue and debate. In particular, Boyd has received criticism for his failure to consider how the biblical character Job jives with his position.
Here is a snidbit of Boyd's response:
Hopeful what I’ve said has been adequate to refute the view that the book of Job depicts God as controlling “every move Satan makes” and the view that Job’s statement that “the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away” (Job 1:21) is a view the author of this book endorses.
