Overview

God Without Measure: God and the Works of God, treats the themes of God’s inner being and God’s outer acts. After an overall account of the relation between God in himself and the economy of God’s external works, there are studies of the divine aseity and of the theology of the eternal Son. These are followed by a set of essays on creation out of nothing; the relation between God and God’s creatures; the nature of providence; the relation of soteriology and the doctrine of God; and the place of teaching about justification in Christian theology.
