In what sense is God mystery? How is his transcendence and immanence displayed when he hides? Are there negative consequences to reading Christology back into the doctrine of God? How does God’s power, simplicity, and aseity relate to his incomprehensibility? Why is maintaining the distinction between the Creator and creature of such importance, particularly in framing our need for God’s grace?
In this episode of the Credo podcast, Matthew Barrett is joined by Katherine Sonderegger to consider God’s hiddenness and how it simultaneously conveys his transcendence and presence.
