Reviews
"Erickson does a good job bringing the theologian and pastor up to speed with philosophical discussion regarding some aspects of God's nature. For that he is to be thanked, and in this regard the book is successful, in fact quite good. Just do not expect a systematic theological treatment of the doctrine of God."--Michael D. Williams (Presbyterion)
"Erickson, distinguished professor of theology at Truett Seminary, has provided an excellent "update" regarding the doctrine of God in this volume."--Bibliotheca Sacra
"In eight chapters on specific attributes, Erickson provides crisp summaries of the question and assessment of recent (mainly evangelical) writing. . . . The book is useful for seminary students and others who wish a brisk handbook on these questions from an evangelical perspective."--S. Mark Heim (Religious Studies Review)
