What Are the Divine Perfections | John Webster
2007 Kantzer Lecture #2 - God’s Perfect Life Webster second lecture is composed of three sections. First, Webster offers an initial orientation to God’s perfections, most notably, the notion of God’s aseity. Second, he moves to a description of God’s perfections in God’s own life, namely, in God’s Trinitarian life. Third and finally, Webster moves to a brief exposition of the divine perfections in God’s external relations, the sending of the Son and procession of the Spirit. John B. Webster (1955-2016) (PhD University of Cambridge) was a notable contemporary British theologian of the Anglican Communion writing in the areas of systematic, historical and moral theology. His major publications included Eberhard Jüngel: An Introduction to his Theology (Cambridge University Press, 1991), Barth’s Ethics of Reconciliation (Cambridge University Press, 1995), The Cambridge Companion to Karl Barth (Cambridge University Press, 2006), and Holy Scripture: A Dogmatic Sketch (Cambridge University Press, 2012). The Henry Center for Theological Understanding provides theological resources that help bridge the gap between the academy and the church. It houses a cluster of initiatives, each of which is aimed at applying practical Christian wisdom to important kingdom issues—for the good of the church, for the soul of the theological academy, for the sake of the world, and ultimately for the glory of God. The HCTU seeks to ground each of these initiatives in Scripture, and it pursues these goals collaboratively, in order to train a new generation of wise interpreters of the Word—lay persons and scholars alike—for the sake of tomorrow’s church, academy, and world.
