All That Is in God: Evangelical Theology and the Challenge of Classical Christian Theism

Unknown to many, increasing numbers of conservative evangelicals are denying basic tenets of classical Christian teaching about God, with departures occurring even among those of the Calvinistic persuasion. In this book, James E. Dolezal provides an exposition of the historic Christian position while engaging with these contemporary deviations. He demonstrates the need to maintain the traditional viewpoint, particularly on divine simplicity, and spotlights the unfortunate implications for other important Christian doctrines - such as divine eternality and the Trinity - if they were to be abandoned. "The road to doctrinal decline is not a steep cliff but a gradual descent. Before we realize it, we have altered or abandoned long-cherished beliefs and doctrine. James Dolezal sounds the alarm on the important but forgotten doctrine of divine simplicity... This book is well worth the time to read, digest, and reinvigorate our understanding of the simplicity of God."? - J.V.
