The Christian Doctrine of the Divine Attributes - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

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."". . .

Twenty years ago, when I began to teach dogmatics, it was Cremer, too, who opened my eyes.""--Emil Brunner""This book merits more attention than has been given it in theological discussion."" --Eberhard Jungel""The most significant contribution of modern theology to the doctrine of the divine attributes.""--Wolfhart PannenbergHermann Cremer (1834-1903) was a Protestant biblical scholar and theologian.
