Opis

God's simplicity and perfection shapes both God's distinctive relation to creation and how theologians properly acknowledge this distinctiveness in thought.

Recenzje

'The volume is an ambitious and demanding read that is full of rich insights into the theological method of its interlocutors. Wittman demonstrates a sensitivity to, and awareness of, the issues in the landscape of Aquinas and Barth scholarship, yet charts his own course by avoiding the temptation to become unduly entangled in them.' Charles C. Helmer, International Journal of Systematic Theology
