The Doctrine of God (Theology of Lordship)

The second volume in Frame's acclaimed Theology of Lordship series brings the full resources of his perspectival method to bear on the central question of all Christian theology: who is God? In The Doctrine of God, Frame undertakes a comprehensive examination of the divine attributes, acts, and names, exploring what it means to say that God is Lord, and working out the implications of that lordship across the full range of theological, ethical, and spiritual questions that surround it. Frame's approach is characteristically both rigorous and biblical. Rather than organizing the doctrine of God primarily around philosophical categories borrowed from the tradition, he allows the scriptural witness to set the terms of discussion, examining attributes like omniscience, omnipotence, eternality, and immutability in light of the God who speaks, acts, and relates personally to his people throughout the history of redemption. The result is a treatment of the doctrine of God that is both technically serious and practically grounding, a work that deepens the reader's understanding not only of what God is, but of what it means to live under his lordship in every area of life. An essential volume for anyone working through Frame's Theology of Lordship series or seeking a thorough Reformed account of the doctrine of God.
