Ep. 112 - How Can We Describe the Indescribable God?

Mortimer Adler said, “More consequences for thought and action follow the affirmation or denial of God than from answering any other basic question.”

The popular Chris Tomlin song, “Indescribable”, poetically articulates how God is beyond our comprehension.


So how can we describe an indescribable God? Thoughts about the existence and nature of God are all over the place, even within the evangelical church. How can we know we are thinking well about God and that we are not in fact guilty of idolatry?


What are God’s attributes, and why does it matter that we get this right? For the next two weeks, we’re going to be discussing these issues with my good friend and long-time SES professor, Dr. Doug Potter.
