Recenzii
Laudably even-handed and researched, elegantly written and explicated, Peckham's eagerly anticipated, student-friendly contribution is a treasure trove. Exploring God's existence is valuable; asking who God is priceless. Peckham investigates the latter by deftly navigating an expansive, philosophically and theologically sophisticated literature to mine substantive doctrine with fertile and far-reaching implications.
No aspect of Christian faith is more important, or more controversial, than the doctrine of God. And few explorations of this doctrine are as informed, clear, and well organized as John Peckham's. His book provides an attractive introduction to God's central attributes, the questions they traditionally raise, and some of the influential answers recent thinkers have proposed.
This is a terrific little book on the biggest of all issues. The discussion is biblically driven and deeply informed by, and conversant with, the best philosophical and theological literature. It is an excellent account of the current state of the debate and will be an ideal text for introductory theology courses.
In his survey of Christian theism, John Peckham again demonstrates why he wins the hearts and minds even of those who diverge from him. Clearly tracing the outlines of divine immutability, eternality, omniscience, omnipotence, and impassibility, Peckham enlivens his portrait with the color of Christian debate over our construal of revelation and philosophy regarding who God is. This will likely become the standard introductory text to this fast growing field of theological discourse.
This is an excellent guide for students to the key terms, positions, and names in contemporary discussions of the doctrine of God. The book is so well organized that it will be immediately helpful as an introduction. Peckham is a clear writer with a sharp eye for big ideas, central claims, and definitive statements.
