God Without Measure is ideal for theologians, seminary students, clergy, and serious readers interested in Christian doctrine, dogmatics, and moral theology. It is suited to those seeking a scholarly and detailed investigation of the relations between God’s nature and theological teaching.

Description

In this two-volume collection of essays, which forms a companion to The Domain of the Word, John Webster brings together studies of a range of topics in dogmatic and moral theology.

This first volume, God and the Works of God, treats the themes of God's inner being and God's outer acts. After an overall account of the relation between God in himself and the economy of God's external works, there are studies of the divine aseity and of the theology of the eternal Son.

These are followed by a set of essays on creation out of nothing; the relation between God and God's creatures; the nature of providence; the relation of soteriology and the doctrine of God; and the place of teaching about justification in Christian theology.

Each of the essays explores the relation of theology proper to economy, and together they pose an understanding of Christian doctrine in which all theological teaching flows from the doctrine of the immanent Trinity.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Praised as essential reading for engaging moral theology and practical concerns, Webster's work is recognised for its thoughtful examination of theological content and method. Reviews highlight his impressive grasp of theological science, with God Without Measure seen as a comprehensive illustration of theology’s scope. Esteemed journals such as Currents in Theology and Mission, Princeton Theological Review, and Anglican Theological Review commend the collection for its intellectual depth and engaging style, although Webster’s premature death left the larger project unfinished.
