To an increasing number of people these days, the announcement of God, as a timeless immaterial substance, a single subject who is the predetermining cause of all things, does not sound like good news. Concerned that such problematic understandings of God continue to govern current debates, F. LeRon Shults explores the emerging theological revival of such themes as the Trinity and eschatology. Linking traditional attributes of God with contemporary philosophy, his book culminates with a reformed doctrine of God that revolves around themes of God's omniscient faithfulness, omnipotent love, and omnipresent hope. Evangelical in conviction while engaged with a variety of Christian tradition and fossilizing it in early modern categories. This book marks an astute and much-needed reconstruction of Christian theology for our days.
