In this incisive work, Michelson traces contemporary debates on the doctrine of God back in time to the philosophical critiques of Hume and Kant. Schleiermacher and Barth each offered accounts of the doctrine of God. This book offers a critical evaluation of these accounts and demonstrates how they were responding to early modern critiques of the possibility of knowing God. Michelson also leverages Charnock’s account constructively to demonstrate how this earlier writer has the theological resources to tackle those same critiques.Not content to stop there, Michelson also highlights how these critics built their arguments on faulty interpretations of classical theological tradition. In doing so, this book carves out a provocative, constructive path forward for contemporary theological reflection on the doctrine of God.

This book is a masterful and compelling contribution to theological epistemology, essential for any theologian working on this topic. Michelson exhibits an impressive command of a diverse range of thinkers, skilfully weaving them into a constructive dialogue that offers profound insights for the Church as it navigates an unsettling world. Most exciting, however, is that this work gives every indication that Michelson may emerge as one of the most important theologians of his generation.
