Book Synopsis
While offering cogent criticisms of the classical view of God, Donald G.

From the Back Cover
Drawing on an immense fund of erudition, Donald Bloesch turns to the central subject of life and theology - God. He addresses an impressive array of issues, both perennial and contemporary, including gender language of God, the resurgence of pantheism, God's essence and attributes, process theology's understanding of God, the problem of evil, the mystery of the Trinity, and weak as well as strong points of the biblical-classical synthesis on the doctrine of God.Review Quotes
"I haven't read any theological work as biblically and historically rich, as intellectually satisfying, or as spiritually exhilarating as Bloesch's [early volumes of Christian Foundations] since Karl Barth's Church Dogmatics."
"This work will be read by all who are interested in the renewal of systematic theology in our time. It is an inspiring, balanced, instructive, rigorous inquiry."
