Publisher's Description
Cremer's short, energetic treatise on the divine attributes was admired by both Karl Barth and Wolfhart Pannenberg. Cremer chastises the speculative flights of traditional doctrines of the divine attributes and issues a resounding summons to a more exegetically, economically, and christologically grounded account. Known primarily as a biblical scholar for his Biblico-Theological Lexicon of New Testament Greek, precursor to the monumental TDNT, Cremer shows himself here also an able systematician, with a pastor's eye for the role played by doctrine in the life of congregational and individual faith.

“. . . [an] extraordinarily informative book.”
“Hermann Cremer, in particular, has rendered us a great service . . . in his outstanding small book, Die christliche Lehre von den Eigenschaften Gottes, as the first to have pointed out the contrast between the traditional doctrine of the divine attributes and the idea of God in the Bible. . . . Twenty years ago, when I began to teach dogmatics, it was Cremer, too, who opened my eyes.”
“This book merits more attention than has been given it in theological discussion.”
“The most significant contribution of modern theology to the doctrine of the divine attributes.”
