None Greater: Matthew Barrett on the Undomesticated Attributes of God (Part 1)

Why was Matthew Barrett surprised by the God of Augustine, Anselm, and Calvin? Have we domesticated God, so that he looks a lot more like the creature than the Creator? If we understand God as the perfect being, what perfect-making attributes must be true of God?

In this new episode of the Credo podcast, Matthew Barrett is interviewed by Jason Duesing about his new book None Greater: The Undomesticated Attributes of God. Barrett and Duesing discuss the impetus for None Greater, the structure of the book, and the relevance of God’s attributes on theology and the Christian life.

This is a two-part interview. Listen to Part 2 where Thor Madsen interviews Matthew Barrett.
