Dr. Carl F. H. Henry’s brilliant defense of the rational character of biblical faith continues in this volume on the doctrine of God. In earlier volumes the author contends that we can truly know God. Here he describes the nature of God who makes himself known.
Modern challenges to the biblical view of God range from those who say that faith is merely a matter of subjective preference to those who assume that man can know all there is to know about God from observation of the universe, apart from special, divine revelation. Dr. Henry asserts that the reality of God is not merely an inference from our subjective experience. He stresses that God reveals himself through the Word, and through the world. Some discussions of the essence and the attributes of God seem much too far removed from human needs to be relevant. Dr. Henry shows how the Bible’s affirmation of God’s personal being is decisive for and undergirds human values. “Only the biblical revelation of God the personal Creator and Redeemer can effectively counter the factors that question the objective value of personality,” he writes. He presents loyalty to the biblical exposition of God as the only remedy to the appeal of such false gods as hedonism, materialism and Marxism. The author explains the biblical ideas of God’s personality, the Trinity, the timelessness of divinity, the sovereignty of God, and the nature of the divine mind. In doing so he counters modern philosophical objections to such truths. A final chapter wrestles with concerns of revelation and culture. Dr. Henry avoids the mistake of scholastics who have insisted that God is unknowable. He affirms that God’s attributes — His love, power, mercy and justice — are supremely revealed in Jesus Christ, and depicted in the pages of Scripture. |
