Contemplating the Aseity of God

About this book

An Invitation to Contemplate the Nature of God's Divine Aseity

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." The very first words of Scripture reveal a reality that should fill us with awe. God, acting independently, spoke creation into existence. He made everything from nothing, and the entirety of creation depends on him for all of eternity. But sometimes we can become so focused on what isĀ  practicalĀ orĀ  plausibleĀ that we lose the childlike wonder to behold the living God.

These foundational truths demonstrate God's aseity—his self-existence, complete independence, and eternal nature. As part of the Contemplating God series, this book offers an accessible and engaging exploration of divine aseity. Blending theological depth, readability, and literary creativity, Samuel G. Parkison welcomes readers into the riches of the classical Christian tradition, inviting them to marvel at the wondrous mysteries of God.

  • Explores Divine Aseity:Ā Reflects on God's independent and eternal nature, and invites believers to consider how we participate in his eternal life
  • Part of the Contemplating God Series:Ā Each book offers an accessible gateway into a specific topic of classical theology, helping laypeople embrace truths from the historic church
  • Written for Lay-Readers:Ā A non-intimidating and thoroughly enjoyable introduction that informs the mind while providing awe, wonder, and wisdom
  • Literary:Ā Inspired by writers like C. S. Lewis and G. K. Chesterton, this essay speaks to the reader through the beauty of language
