Great Is the Lord: Theology for the Praise of God

About this book

In keeping with the classic Christian tradition Great Is the Lord sets out the doctrine of God in a way that illumines the mind moves the heart and stirs the soul to praise the triune God. Ron Highfield introduces students ministers and others to the traditional doctrine of God held by the majority of the church from the second to the twentieth century: God is triune loving merciful gracious patient wise one simple omnipotent omniscient eternal omnipresent immutable impassible and glorious. Irenically challenging open theism and process theology Highfield shows that the classical doctrine of God actually preserves our confidence in Gods love and his liberating action better than its opponents do. This traditional doctrine Highfield argues grounds our dignity and freedom in the center of reality the trinitarian life of God. Highfields work maintains the highest intellectual standards throughout even as it offers a true theology for the praise of God.
