Biblical Theological Investigations Into the Incomprehensibility of God

Biblical Theological Investigations into the Incomprehensibility of God draws readers into the profound attribute of God's incomprehensibility as witnessed in the unfolding narrative of Scripture. While systematic theology has long affirmed the incomprehensibility of God, this volume breaks new ground by exploring this attribute through the lens of biblical theology, tracing its expression in specific texts of the Old and New Testaments. Originating from the 2024 EABS conference in Sofia, the chapters in this volume represent research by scholars who examine how biblical texts portray God as both revealed and ultimately unfathomable by means of detailed exegetical studies.
