“Christian” law review article

I was reading an article entitled “A Faith-Based Perspective On Tort Causation” by Douglas H. Cook. This article explains that accidental injury should not generate tort lilability, because God is the predominant causal actor. In contrast, when a person intentionally sins, it establishes the defendant as the primary causal actor. I agree with these general statements, however, I was uncomfortable with the line “By sinning, D took causal control out of God’s hands, and into his own.” (p.510) I would rather emphasize the mystery of BOTH human responsibility and divine providence. (Romans 9,10)
