None Greater - Matthew Barrett Book Review

In None Greater, author Matthew Barrett writes about God as “someone than whom none greater can be conceived.” He does this by writing about a topic that been written about many times throughout the years: the attributes of God. What makes this book unique from all the other books about God’s attributes is that he writes about the divine attributes to show God’s absolute supremacy over every other being. He does this in chapters like: “Can We Know The Essence Of God?”, “Is God Made Up of Parts?”, and “Is God Bound By Space?.”

Although None Greater is a theology book and contains some very deep theology, it remains accessible to most laypeople. It’s definitely not an easy read, but it doesn’t require a theology degree to understand it. Whenever a new word or concept is introduced, it is thoroughly explained in the text and in the glossary at the end of the book. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to do a deep study on the attributes of God.

I received a review copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
