John C. Peckham introduces and engages the big questions about what God is like and how God relates to the world. Does God change? Does God have emotions? Can God do anything? Does God know the future? Does God always get what God wants? Is God entirely good?

This textbook provides a clear and concise overview of the issues involved in these and other questions and explores prominent contemporary approaches to the main issues relative to how to conceive of the God-world relationship within Christian theology. In so doing, this introductory, issues-focused, textbook on the doctrine of God surveys a range of live options regarding each of the primary questions, briefly considering where each falls within the spectrum of the Christian tradition and providing clear and readily understandable explanations of the technical issues involved. The result is a stimulating survey of the most prominent options in Christian theology relative to divine attributes and the God-world relationship, offered in a way that is suitable for beginning students.

Designed for classroom use this volume includes the following features:
- study questions for each chapter
- suggestions for further reading for each chapter
- chapter at-a-glance outlines at the beginning of each chapter
- glossary

Industry Reviews

Laudably even-handed and researched, elegantly written and explicated, Peckham's eagerly anticipated, student-friendly contribution is a treasure trove. Exploring God's existence is valuable; asking who God is priceless. Peckham investigates the latter by deftly navigating an expansive, philosophically and theologically sophisticated literature to mine substantive doctrine with fertile and far-reaching implications.
