After two thousand years of theological discussion there seems to
be little clarity about the kind of being that God is. "Act and
Being" -- Colin Gunton's last book before his untimely death in
spring 2003 -- explores this topic with brilliance, offering a
fresh, meaningful understanding of the defining characteristics of
the deity. In discussing the attributes of God, Gunton brings a
unique combination of theology and philosophy to bear on this
central topic of Christian thought. He first reviews past attempts
to unpack the nature of God, showing how most fail as cogent,
relevant teaching. He then outlines the facets of a new,
intellectually stimulating, profoundly biblical portrait of the
divine being. In the course of his book Gunton also discusses the
adequacy of theological language, compares the Greek and Hebrew
views of divinity, and shows the difference that the Trinity makes
to our understanding of the divine attributes.
