Description
How can we (created beings) know God (the Creator)?
Throughout history, the church has recognized the importance of studying and understanding God's attributes. As the Creator of all things, God is unique and cannot be compared to any of his creatures, so to know him, believers turn to the pages of Scripture. In The Attributes of God, renowned theologian Gerald Bray leads us on an exploration of God's being, his essential attributes, his relational attributes, and the relevance of his attributes to our thinking, lives, and worship. As we better understand God's attributes, we will learn to delight in who God is and how he has made himself known to us in Scripture.
Part of the Short Studies in Systematic Theology series
Explores the biblical roots of the attributes of God
Divides the divine attributes into two categories: essential (omnipresence, omnipotence, omniscience) and relational (personhood, holiness, justice, goodness)
