None Greater

The Undomesticated Attributes of God

De: Matthew Barrett, Fred Sanders - foreword

Narrado por: Tom Parks

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.

A superb book about God's being & attributes

The narration was very smooth, articulated and engaging. I always looked forward to listening. What a feast for the soul!

First 2 chapters are GREAT!

The start of this book is beautiful. The last few chapters felt repetitive to me. There is a lot of reiterations of the simplicity and imutabilty of God.

Instructive and engaging

Loved this book. The subject matter is incredibly important, the outline compressive , the argumentation superb, and argumentation outstanding. This book is an excellent introduction to the perfections, or attributes, of God.

Excellent Book

Excellent book on the attributes of God while maintaining an emphasis on His perfection and simplicity.

Excellent explanation of theology

I’m really thankful for this work; it has helped me to gain a better grasp of theology. I highly recommend it!

I highly recommend

I loved this book. Prior to listening to Barrett's book .... I listened several times to Tozer's "The Knowledge of the Holy" (and I continue to recommend it) because it is so wonderful in it's 'pastoral nature'.

I was introduced to Reformed Theology by a coworker in the early 2000's. He gently drew me out of the Armenian soup which I had been stewing in since 1978 and introduced me to Calvin, Van Til, Vos and others.

"None Greater" is an excellent companion, in my humble opinion, to the library of anyone seeking a greater knowledge of our Holy God....
in order that we might better "worship Him in spirit and truth".

Concise. Orthodox. Biblical. Readable.

A beautiful articulation of Classic, confessional, Christian Theism. It does not require a PhD in philosophy to comprehend, yet it does not abandon the Classical Metaphysic. Neither the novice, nor the Thomist will come away empty handed.

Great explanation of the infinite from the finite.

Someone trying to explain God is a hard task but this author does a great job from a Biblical perspective. It challenged my thoughts of the limitations I place on God. This perspective will help me worship, pray, and act with more purpose and zeal of pleasing Jesus. Thanks to God for authors who do good work.

Magnificent

This book is absolutely magnificent. In a day where there is no shortage of overly emotional and heretical gibberish written on the doctrine of God, here is a much needed, refreshing, and theologically sound examination of God's attributes. The book is written in an engaging and understandable format that both layman and scholar can benefit from. I highly recommend this soul stirring and God exalting work from Matthew Barrett.

A discourse on the nature of God

Written well. Clear. A book every Christian should read. A book I hope to read every year
