About the Book

There is growing recognition that an account of God's attributes is central to the church's proclamation. This study presents three probing twentieth-century accounts - those of Karl Barth, Eberhard Juengel, and Wolf Kroetke - each of whom reformulated the classical shape of the doctrine. Giving particular attention to the divine glory, the case is made that God, rather than being an unthinkable and unspeakable horizon, is the glorious One, whose glory is his self-communication and the unifying horizon of attribution.

About the Author :
The Author: Christopher R. J. Holmes is Assistant Professor of Systematic Theology and Ethics at Providence Theological Seminary, Otterburne, Manitoba, Canada. He received his M.Rel. and Th.D. in systematic theology from Wycliffe College, University of Toronto, and has published articles in the Toronto Journal of Theology and the International Journal of Systematic Theology.

Review :
For a long time the discussion of God's attributes has been a discussion about the attributes of a 'Supreme Being'. Karl Barth, Eberhard Juengel and, more recently, Wolf Kroetke have decisively broken with that tradition. Christopher R. J. Holmes' book recounts why these theologians left that way of thinking and describes what they have put in its place. He focuses particularly on their respective discussions of the attribute of divine glory. This is the best concise account in English that I have seen of this new development in theology and is, at the same time, a sound introduction to the doctrine of God in the works of Barth, Juengel and Kroetke. Particularly helpful is the introduction to Kroetke's doctrine of God, since it is not widely known in the English speaking world. (David E. Demson, Professor Emeritus of Systematic Theology, Emmanuel College, University of Toronto) There is a renewed vigor in discussions of the perfections of God in contemporary Protestant theology. This study of three leading accounts of the matter offers a splendid analysis of key texts and topics, and should be studied not only by specialists in contemporary Christian theology but also by all who are concerned to articulate the Christian doctrine of God. (John Webster, Professor of Systematic Theology, University of Aberdeen)
