There is None Like Him. The Doctrine of God

The author limits the scope of his study to theology as such — the doctrine of God — and examines fundamental questions about God and the world, about time and eternity, about the Incarnation and redemption, about sin and salvation based on a firm and unwavering faith in Scripture as the infallible Word of God. The author analytically and impartially analyzes speculative and esoteric approaches to understanding divine reality — from liberal Christian to neo-pagan — and also examines and critically assesses the theories of contemporary thinkers who consider themselves part of the evangelical tradition or are closely aligned with it. The book is intended for teachers and students of Christian educational institutions, as well as for all those interested in the history of Christian theology and its current state. Reviews: John Feinberg views theology through the eyes of a philosopher and writes about it with a philosopher's characteristic attention to illogicalities and contradictions. A particular virtue of this substantial, well-informed, clear, and detailed exposition of historical Christian beliefs about God is that the author summarizes the outstanding philosophical works of the last fifty years, uprooting confusion and disorder from the theological field.  

Before you is a new epoch-making exposition of the doctrine of God that could have emerged from the pen of Bavinck, had he written his brilliant 'Reformed Dogmatics' a hundred years later. Feinberg presents philosophical reflections in the most digestible form, so that students, gaining the opportunity to understand them and even to enjoy reading lengthy generalizations, will find his book an invariably useful and authoritative source of knowledge.— J. Packer, Professor of Theology, Regent College

This colossal study, from a biblical and philosophical perspective, dedicated to the doctrine of God and based on a careful analysis of contemporary scientific thought about Him, is remarkable. Feinberg links various aspects of classical understanding of God with greater prudence than those doing process theology and open theism. Undoubtedly, his book is the most worthy modern exposition of theological dogmatics.— Bruce Demarest, Professor of Theology and Spiritual Formation, Denver Seminary

In this book, we find a rare combination of virtues. Firstly, the author for whom clarity of concepts is no less important than the absolute truth of the biblical text; secondly, reasoning that avoids the usual 'either/or' and gives equal importance to both God's sovereignty and God's care; thirdly, an approach that pays due attention to both God's determinism and God's involvement in earthly affairs. The book 'There is None Like Him' addresses the most challenging intellectual questions facing contemporary evangelical theology.— Kevin Vanhoozer, Professor of Systematic Theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
