Book Summary
Pink's 'The Attributes of God' is a profound and reverent exploration of God's character as revealed in Scripture. He systematically examines various divine attributes, encouraging readers to know God more intimately and to stand in awe of His perfections.
What it does well
- — Deeply theological and thoroughly grounded in Scripture, with extensive scriptural references for each attribute.
- — Exalts God and promotes a high view of His sovereignty, holiness, and wisdom.
- — Challenges readers to move beyond superficial understandings of God to a more profound and worshipful knowledge.
Watch for
- — Pink's writing style is sometimes dense and may require patient, careful reading, which could be challenging for new believers or those unfamiliar with theological discourse.
- — At times, the language and cultural context are dated, which might occasionally require some interpretation.
- — While generally balanced, some readers might perceive a certain emphasis on God's sovereignty that could, if not carefully considered, lead to questions about human responsibility (though Pink himself addressed this).
Verdict
Highly recommended for Christian readers seeking a deeper, more robust understanding of God's character. It is an excellent resource for anyone desiring to grow in their theological knowledge and worship of God, particularly those within Reformed or evangelical traditions.
