Abstract

The content of the article is to lay out two understandings of the concept of Divine Providence: subjective, referring to man, and objective, referring to the entire created world. The author uses in his analyses the category of existential experience, to which he reduces the concept. This procedure avoids the fateful attempt to ask the question of the definition of the category of Divine Providence, that is, what it is, and instead, examines how the category works – precisely in concrete experience. He conducts his analysis on the material of a reading of two of his chosen Psalms 91 and 104.
