English readers are fortunate to have access to this career-crowning work by Dutch theologian Jan Muis. Like his intellectual mentor Kornelis H. Miskotte, Muis possesses an original theological voice that is at once unsentimental about the challenges of God-talk in a secular age, and deeply committed to the elementary grammar of biblical faith. Reading Muis provides an opportunity to think afresh about the most basic questions of the Christian doctrine of God, in the company of a commendably lucid, patient, thorough, and widely-read companion.
