Divine Humility: God’s Morally Perfect Being. By Matthew A. Wilcoxen

This is an important study. I learned a great deal from it. Although I was not always convinced by the argument, Wilcoxen’s basic point is worth serious consideration, namely ‘that God’s perfect being is always and already oriented toward his creature’ (p. 3).

520 |a This is an important study. I learned a great deal from it. Although I was not always convinced by the argument, Wilcoxen’s basic point is worth serious consideration, namely ‘that God’s perfect being is always and already oriented toward his creature’ (p. 3). Taking Augustine, Barth, and Sonderegger as his theological dialogue partners, the case is made for humility as a divine attribute. So Wilcoxen, commenting on the ground of the incarnation, writes, ‘it is “fitting” for God to do this because he simply is this morally perfect being that is divine humility’ (p. 7). Humility, according to Wilcoxen, is the ground of God’s nearness to created things in general and, more specifically, God’s coming among us in Jesus Christ.
