This rigorous study shows that Reformed theology has the resources to answer these criticisms and offer a compelling account of God's rule. Baylor turns to Owen's theology of divine "dominion", an attribute that sought to integrate reflection on God's power and justice. By tracing Owen's richly textured vision of the creature's relation to God, Baylor shows that Reformed theology sought to condition our notions of God's power by the forms of the creature's dependence upon God within God's moral economy. In doing so, this book offers a nuanced account of God's relation to creatures, and a powerful rebuttal to contemporary critics that depict Reformed visions of God's power as arbitrary and tyrannical.
