Contemplating God With The Great Tradition by Craig A. Carter
Recovering Trinitarian Classical Theism
A vigorous retrieval of Nicene, Trinitarian classical theism, this work argues that Scripture is best read within the church’s Great Tradition, recovering doctrines like divine simplicity, immutability, impassibility, aseity, eternal generation, and inseparable operations. It critiques modern theistic personalism, social trinitarianism, and historicist exegesis, contending that biblical language about God is analogical and grounded in metaphysical realism and Christian Platonism. Drawing on the fathers and medieval doctors, it calls pastors and theologians to reembrace patristic and medieval metaphysics as the proper context for faithful doctrine and contemporary ministry.
