Matthew Barrett, None Greater: The Undomesticated Attributes of God (Baker Books, 2019)
283pp
ISBN: 9780801098741
A helpful and engaging look at classical attributes of God (incomprehensibility, infinity, aseity, simplicity, immutability, impassibility, eternity, omni-s etc.) in the company of what Barrett calls The A Team, Augustine, Anselm and Aquinas but also with a debt to Puritans such as Stephen Charnock and, I felt, especially Bavinck.
Text boxes introduce some figures from history and there are some tables and a glossary. Bibliography.
I'm not quite sure of the level of this book. Some of it is popular and introductory and there are some anecdotes and illustrations but I think some things here were new to me and it does get a bit technical in places. Some of the end notes are worth a look.
Recommended.
