Challenges modern views and clarifies God's true nature

You will gain confidence in God's love and character

Great Is The Lord explores the timeless doctrine of God to inspire heartfelt praise.

In keeping with the classic Christian tradition, Great Is the Lord sets out the doctrine of God in a way that illumines the mind, moves the heart, and stirs the soul to praise the triune God. Ron Highfield introduces students, ministers, and others to the “traditional” doctrine of God held by the majority of the church from the second to the twentieth century: God is triune, loving, merciful, gracious, patient, wise, one, simple, omnipotent, omniscient, eternal, omnipresent, immutable, impassible, and glorious.

Irenically challenging open theism and process theology, Highfield shows that the classical doctrine of God actually preserves our confidence in God’s love and his liberating action better than its opponents do. This traditional doctrine, Highfield argues, grounds our dignity and freedom in the center of reality, the trinitarian life of God. Highfield’s work maintains the highest intellectual standards throughout even as it offers a true theology for the praise of God.

Ron Highfield is Blanche E Seaver Professor of Religion Pepperdine University, USA.
