In imitation of classic tradition, Great is the Lord sets out the
Christian doctrine of God in a way designed to illumine the mind,
move the heart, and stir the soul to praise the triune God. Here,
Ronald Highfield introduces students, ministers, and others to the
doctrine of God held by the majority of the church from the second
to the twentieth century. This traditional opinion reveals God to
be triune, loving, merciful, gracious, patient, wise, one, simple,
omnipotent, omniscient, eternal, omnipresent, immutable,
impassible, and glorious.
Highfield draws on scripture, tradition, and widely esteemed
theologians to correct common misunderstandings and superficial
criticisms. He examines the modern practice, even among evangelical
or conservatives, of first rehearsing the shortcomings of
"traditional" theological teaching and then claiming that classical
doctrines paint God as uncaring, uninvolved, and a threat to human
freedom. Great is the Lord revisits this classic doctrine so
accused to discover that, far from being the creator of such an
unpleasant god, it actually preserves our confidence in God's love
and his liberating action better than its opponents do. That
traditional doctrine, Highfield argues, grounds our dignity and
freedom in the center of reality, the Trinitarian life of God.
Highfield's work here maintains the highest intellectual
standards, while offering a true theology for the praise of
God.
