None Greater: Matthew Barrett on the Undomesticated Attributes of God (Part 2)

What does it mean for God to be the perfect being? How can we discuss individual attributes of God when God is simple–identical with his attributes and undivided in his essence? What are the consequences for the Christian life if we reject God’s impassibility? How do we interpret scripture when it says God repents? How can God be called jealous when jealousy in our experience is such a sinful attribute? Does the gospel and our assurance assume the classical view of God?

In this new episode of the Credo podcast, Matthew Barrett is interviewed by Thor Madsen about his new book None Greater: The Undomesticated Attributes of GodBarrett and Madsen discuss the modern domestication of God, God’s perfection, and the way God’s attributes all relate to one another.
