In this accessible and engaging work, John Peckham outlines and engages with many of the ongoing debates in philosophical theology about Gods attributes, exploring the biblical warrant for many of classical theisms claims about what God must be like if he is indeed maximally great. What emerges from Peckhams own biblically rooted approach is an immensely attractive picture of a God who is great in terms of his capacity for, and commitment to, relationships of love. This book covers a tremendous amount of ground in a short space and is very useful as a resource for ongoing discussions of perfect being theology. The book also serves as a penetrating challenge to rethink the question of whether our starting point for a doctrine of God should be philosophical ideas of perfection or biblical themes of covenant. Thoughtful, informative, and highly recommended.
Kevin Kinghorn , Asbury Seminary
This book provides an excellent exposition and defense of moderate classical theism. Peckham displays vast knowledge of a wide range of biblical, philosophical, historical, and contemporary sources. He offers sagacious evaluation of controversial issues, and his covenantal approach is a significant contribution. After reading this book one feels a deep sense of gratitude for gaining a better understanding of the God whom we worship.
Andrew T. Loke , Hong Kong Baptist University
Peckhams Divine Attributes offers a much-needed voice in contemporary debates over the nature of God. For quite some time, the debates seem to be between those who wish to maintain a strict classical conception of God and those who affirm an open and relational model of God. What Peckham offers is a genuine middle ground between these two views that affirms traditional understandings of divine foreknowledge but also offers a relational and covenantal God with the rich emotional life that Scripture proclaims. Divine Attributes will be a game changer for debates about the nature of God. Strict classical theists and open theists must deal with the powerful biblical case that Peckham presents. If you are looking for a theology text that is faithful to the biblical witness and sensitive to the philosophical challenges that arise from thinking about the nature of God, then Divine Attributes is the book for you.

W ithout the help and support of many people, I could not have written this book. First, Id like to thank Dave Nelson at Baker Academic for his interest in this project and for his great support and guidance throughout the process. I am also grateful to Melisa Blok, who did a fantastic job guiding this project through the editing process. Many thanks are also due to the rest of the Baker Academic team, with whom it has been a joy and a privilege to work on this book.
Id also like to thank my colleagues in the Theology and Christian Philosophy department of the seminary of Andrews University. It is my privilege to work with such great colleagues and friends. Thanks are also due to those who read part or all of this work and provided feedback and encouragement and to my students who have shown interest in the doctrine of God and encouraged me along the way.
I am also deeply grateful to my family. I cannot thank my parents, Ernest and Karen, enough for their untiring and constant support in so many ways. I am thankful to my nine-year-old son, Joel, for providing so much joy in my life. Thank you for being my best buddy. I am so glad you are my son. Last, but certainly not least, there are no words to express my love, gratitude, and appreciation for my amazing wife, Brenda, my best friend and the most wonderful wife and mother anyone could hope for.
