Module 2 - Theology: The Doctrine of God

The purpose of this current module is to explore what the Bible teaches about God Himself, which is to say, what God reveals to us about God. So if you wish to gain a deeper understanding of who the Lord is, these lectures aim to benefit you. The lectures in this second module on the doctrine of God are, like the others, introductory, not exhaustive; and they’re intended to furnish you with a foundation that you can build upon in your further studies. But that is not to say that they will be easy. When we think about the God of glory, we are dealing with deep and difficult matters. And this requires reverence, humility, diligence, and much prayer that the Lord would open our eyes to behold a glimpse of His glory by faith.

In the present lecture, and the following ones, we continue to reflect on God’s being by considering more of His attributes. And as we do so, we will build on what we already learned. So remember, for example, that God’s divine simplicity taught us that His attributes are not parts of God, and are not just descriptions of what He has - they reveal to us who God is in Himself. In this lecture we will be studying some of the more difficult and abstract attributes of God. So prepare yourself to concentrate and think hard about what the Bible teaches us.
