This comprehensive study explores the attributes of God as articulated in Patristic and medieval theology, emphasizing their historical development, theological depth, and contemporary relevance. Drawing on scripture, philosophical reasoning, and mystical insights, it examines key divine attributes such as omnipotence, omniscience, immutability, love, justice, simplicity, and eternity.
The work highlights how early theologians, including the Cappadocian Fathers, Augustine, and Pseudo-Dionysius, synthesized biblical revelation with Greco-Roman philosophical traditions to articulate a vision of God as both transcendent and immanent. In the medieval period, figures like Anselm of Canterbury and Thomas Aquinas deepened these insights, integrating Aristotelian metaphysics to provide systematic accounts of divine perfection, providence, and the beatific vision.
The study also explores the role of mysticism in revealing the incomprehensibility of God, emphasizing the tension between apophatic and cataphatic theology. Additionally, it engages with modern challenges to classical theism, including process theology, open theism, and the problem of evil, while affirming the enduring significance of traditional formulations.
By examining the interplay of reason and revelation, the relational dimensions of divine attributes, and their implications for ethics and spirituality, this work demonstrates the theological richness and practical relevance of the doctrine of God. It invites readers into a deeper understanding of the God who is infinite yet personal, immutable yet engaged, and holy yet intimately near.
