Book Synopsis The Christian Doctrine of the Divine Attributes by : Hermann Cremer
Download or read book The Christian Doctrine of the Divine Attributes written by Hermann Cremer. This book was released on 2016-05-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cremer's short, energetic treatise on the divine attributes was admired by both Karl Barth and Wolfhart Pannenberg. Cremer chastises the speculative flights of traditional doctrines of the divine attributes and issues a resounding summons to a more exegetically, economically, and christologically grounded account. Known primarily as a biblical scholar for his Biblico-Theological Lexicon of New Testament Greek, precursor to the monumental TDNT, Cremer shows himself here also an able systematician, with a pastor's eye for the role played by doctrine in the life of congregational and individual faith.
