Synopsis

For too long, Christians have domesticated God, bringing him down to our level as if he is a God who can be tamed. But he is a God who is high and lifted up, the Creator rather than the creature, someone than whom none greater can be conceived. If God is the most perfect, supreme being, infinite and incomprehensible, then certain perfect-making attributes must be true of him. Perfections like aseity, simplicity, immutability, impassibility, and eternity shield God from being crippled by creaturely limitations. At the same time, this all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-wise God accommodates himself, exhibiting perfect holiness, mercy, and love as he makes known who he is and how he will save us.

The attributes of God show us exactly why God is worthy of worship: there is none like him. Join Matthew Barrett as he rediscovers these divine perfections and finds himself surprised by the God he thought he knew.

I really loved the early chapters and the final chapters but found the two penultimate chapters a bit of a slog - good but they just kept going. Definitely would recommend.......more

Goodreads review by Ronni

I was fortunate enough to work through this book by Matthew Barrett a few times prepublication. I couldn't recommend the volume any more than I do. Barrett capably delivers what has been complicated matters regarding divine perfections like simplicity, aseity, impassability, and more, in a remarkabl......more

Goodreads review by Tim

4.8 Stars Matthew Barrett's "None Greater" is a glorious book on the doctrine of God. In this book, Barrett elevates a theology of the attributes of God on His aseity. He argues that God's aseity, his otherness, and His status as "none greater," is what defines all His other attributes. When we speak......more
