None Greater: The Undomesticated Attributes of God
"Matthew Barrett leads us to marvel at both how much and how little we know of God."—Tim Challies, blogger and author

For too long, Christians have domesticated God, bringing him down to our level as if he is a God who can be tamed. But he is a God who is high and lifted up, the Creator rather than the creature, someone than whom none greater can be conceived.

If God is the most perfect, supreme being, infinite and incomprehensible, then certain perfect—making attributes must be true of him. Perfections like aseity, simplicity, immutability, impassibility, and eternity shield God from being crippled by creaturely limitations. At the same time, this all—powerful, all—knowing, and all—wise God accommodates himself, exhibiting perfect holiness, mercy, and love as he makes known who he is and how he will save us.

The attributes of God show us exactly why God is worthy of worship: there is none like him. Join Matthew Barrett as he rediscovers these divine perfections and finds himself surprised by the God he thought he knew.
