Book excerpt: To view God as one who randomly and mysteriously moves through human history doing here and there, whatever and however He pleases is not how the Bible story reads. It may be conceived and proposed to work this way philosophically, where God does at will what He wants. But if one is talking about the acts of God in the Bible, history speaks of God who is goal oriented and that, in achieving His purpose for the human race, the covenant idea was employed by God to get people where God hopes He could get us to go. God being an agenda oriented being is not a typical attribute of God in most world religions. And it is unfortunate because many ideas incongruent to what is being said about God in the Bible have become intertwined with Christianity and have produced today a new brand of faith completely foreign to that of the Bible's covenant making, covenant keeping God.
